About This Item
University of California Press, 1997. 1st printing. Tight, square and unmarked, NF/NF. 296pp. Very nice jacket now in a new mylar cover. California's Napa Valley is one of the world's premier wine regions today, but this has not always been true. James Lapsley's entertaining history explains how a collective vision of excellence among winemakers and a keen sense of promotion transformed the region and its wines following the repeal of Prohibition. Focusing primarily on the formative years of Napa's fine winemaking, 1934 to 1967, Lapsley then concludes with a chapter on the wine boom of the 1970s, placing it in a social context and explaining the role of Napa vineyards in the beverage's growing popularity.. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - 8" - 9" Tall.
