Book Reviews

"Richard Mendelson has written a remarkable book on the past, present, and future of the beautiful Napa Valley. It was a great pleasure to discuss with him the evolution and the challenges facing our major wine-growing regions in America and France. I was particularly impressed by his thesis that we must anticipate, through joint reflections, the future of our vineyards and the development of our winegrowing region, taking into account the terroir and the urgent demands that face us today: the environment, climate change, respect for biodiversity, and urban development."
