American Vintage is a fascinating look of the American wine industry. How did a country with no winemaking history suddenly become a world-class powerhouse? Lukacs covers the entire history of American viticulture from Nicholas Longworth, the founding father of American wine to the fall of wine during Prohibition to its gradual rise at the hands of the "first families of American wine", the Mondavis and the Gallos. Wonderful characters and savvy storytelling make this a great read, even for those who don't partake in the fermented grape.
