Book

"Fine Wine Confidential chronicles my more than 40 years behind the scenes in the wine industry. An insider memoir, untold history and, mostly, a tell-all, it exposes the frauds, spotlights the sometime brilliant personalities and explains the convoluted laws that make up much of the industry. From Organized Crime to today's Organized Monopoly of Liquor Distributors and their strangle hold on the wine producer, this 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!" 

All the excerpts that I will post have been edited and condensed from many more extensive chapters in the book. I relied on numerous notes, email transcripts, and documents I have saved during the past forty years to support my memory and recollections.
