Seller's Description:
Like New in Fine jacket. Size: 7x1x10; Inscribed "To Dr. Bob-Prescribe more wine! John Briscoe". For the first time, Briscoe tells the complete and dramatic story of the ascendancy of California wine in vivid detail. He also profiles the larger story of California itself by looking at it from an entirely innovative perspective, the state seen through its singular wine history. With dramatic flair and verve, Briscoe not only recounts the history of wine and winemaking in California, he encompasses a multidimensional approach that takes into account an array of social, political, cultural, legal, and winemaking sources. Elements of this history have plot lines that seem scripted by a Sophocles, or Shakespeare. It is a fusion of wine, personal histories, cultural, and socioeconomic aspects. John Briscoe is a San Francisco poet, author, lawyer and restaurateur. Since 1972 he has argued and tried cases in the United States Supreme Court, in the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, and in courts across the country. Briscoe is co-owner of Sam's Grill in San Francisco, founded in 1867 and the fifth-oldest restaurant in the United States. Writers, artists, poets, pipefitters, carpenters, journalists, laborers, lawyers and the political class all come to Sam's, to be home. Signed copies rarely offered.
