Following the success of their first book, authors Nick Wise and Linda Sunshine, focus on the wines and winemakers of California in this latest edition.

They go behind the tasting rooms to show how these spectacular wines came into being and to interview the men and women who craft them. The authors revisit Robert Kamen, BR Cohn, Francis Ford Coppola, Fess Parker, Randy Lewis, Charlie Palmer, Raymond Burr, Lillian Disney, and Mario Andretti to update their stories and taste their new vintages. They add more celebrities including Kurt Russell, musician Carlos Santana, Mike Ditka, basketball star Yao Ming, golfers Luke Donald and Jack Nicklaus, writer Molly Chappellet and Nigel Newton, publisher of Harry Potter.

For fans of wine, travel, California, and the rich and famous, here are stories about the love of wine, the joy of creating something amazing from the land and the respect for the grape that is thousands of years old but uniquely American.
