Description
Thomas Jefferson on Wine explores the life-long interest of one of America's founding fathers in wine, providing new insights into his character and expertise. From his student days to his retirement years at Monticello, Hailman examines how Jefferson developed his tastes, preferred wines and foods, and became a leading authority on wine.
Using hundreds of Jefferson's own letters on the subject, as well as his experiences with international wine judges and syndicated wine columnists, Hailman sheds light on the third president's fascination with scores of wines. A new epilogue also covers the ongoing saga of the alleged wine swindle involving bottles of Bordeaux purported to belong to Jefferson.
