Judgment of Paris: Judgment of Paris

Made me want to drink lots of wine. Great history of wine in California

A detailed account of the tasting that put Napa Valley on the map. The author provided lengthy and interesting background on the winery founders and winemakers on both sides of the ‘pond'. He also points out that this breakthrough event also provided the springboard of legitimacy for other producing areas, New Zealand, So Africa, Australia, Spain etc. A downside to the book is it has not been updated (unless I've missed a new edition)
