Default Wine Book

I recently read about "Great Winemakers of California" by Robert Benson
(1977 - Capra Press) on this NG. How I had missed this book when it was
first published I don't know, but I have a very clean copy now that I found
for $11 through Amazon.

This book has a wealth of information from all the heavy hitters I can
recall from that era, which was just after fine California wines had come
into prominence on the world scene. Interviews with Andre Tchelistcheff,
Martin Ray, Mike Grgich, David Bruce - the list goes on and on.

I probably should get a second copy, because I'm likely to wear this one
out! Now I need to do some reading...
