From David Darlington, author of the acclaimed Angels' Visits (published in paperback as Zin), comes an inside look at how a handful of visionary winemakers has transformed-and been transformed by-the California wine industry over the past four decades. In the tradition of The Widow Clicquot and The Billionaire's Vinegar, Darlington's An Ideal Wine is a fascinating, lively tale of vision and daring, of business and politics, of nature and culture, and of the unlikely birth of a multi-billion dollar industry.
