Howdy,
I accidentally happened upon a neat little piece of wine history that I wanted to share.
I ordered a copy of On the Wine Trail from thrift books, I chose acceptable for the condition cause it was dirt cheap.
It got delivered yesterday and the first thing I noticed was the inscription “To: Eleanor Mccrea From: Dick Graff Christmas 1988”
I did a cursory good search for Dick Graff and I was suprised to get a ton of info back. Hey! This guy had wine in the judgement of Paris! He brought malolactic fermentation to America! Turned us all onto oak! Hugely influential.
Eleanor mccrea also seems to be an important vintner.
Anyway, that’s the post. Dumb luck into a little tidbit of California wine history.
