"Engrossing." -- Eric Asimov, The New York Times
"Judgment of Paris is one of the best books on California wine I've
ever read." -- James Laube, Wine Spectator
"[Taber] tells the tale with the same authority, depth, and clarity
as the American wines that won. . . . Fascinating characters, great
locales, and a fine bouquet." -- Walter Isaacson, author of
Benjamin Franklin
"A vivid, robust story that goes down smoothly." -- Entertainment
Weekly
"If ever a story about wine could rise above the 'cooking, wine,
and spirits' category and find a wider public, this is it." --
