“My upcoming book, Fine Wine Confidential, chronicles my 46 years in the wine industry. It is an insider Memoir, packed with untold stories and, mostly, a Tell-All. I link my career and how it coincided with the growth of the modern-day American Wine Industry, which was kick-started by the famous Judgment of Paris tasting staged by Steven Spurrier in Paris on May 24, 1976, which changed the course of California and American wine for the future. My book will expose the frauds, spotlight the sometimes-brilliant personalities, and explain the convoluted laws that govern the alcoholic beverage business. From Organized Crime to today's Organized Monopoly of Liquor Distributors and their stranglehold on the wine producer.
My book is replete with revelations that will make your next bottle of wine, and the ones that follow, experiences that go beyond price, taste, and aroma. Cheers!”
