Whilst honing his craft at the Paul Masson winery (and later at what would become Mount Eden Vineyards), Ray campaigned tirelessly for varietal labeling and enforcement. He was mercurial, at times offensive and always in possession of a personal magnetism that drew many a famous personality of the time to his Vineyard In The Sky. The book struck me as a script for an epic 40's movie, equal parts Ayne Rand and John Steinbeck, the latter having a bit part in the Martin Ray saga. A must read, it brings to life a vital piece of California winemaking history and the tremendously negative impact of prohibition on the fine wine industry.</div> </P> <P> <LI>SKU: NVVSBook </P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Category1" TITLE="Current Releases">Current Releases</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Product29 TITLE="2006 Estate Bottled Pinot Noir, Santa Cruz Mountains">2006 Estate Bottled Pinot Noir, Santa Cruz Mountains</A> -- Magnums also available <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Product30 TITLE="2005 Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon, Santa Cruz Mountains">2005 Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon, Santa Cruz Mountains</A> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Product33 TITLE="2007 Edna Valley Chardonnay, Wolff Vineyard">2007 Edna Valley Chardonnay, Wolff Vineyard</A> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Product35 TITLE="2007 Monterey County Chardonnay, Arroyo Seco">2007 Monterey County Chardonnay, Arroyo Seco</A> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Product24 TITLE="2006 Saratoga Cuv&#233;e Chardonnay, Santa Cruz Mountains">2006 Saratoga Cuvée Chardonnay, Santa Cruz Mountains</A> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Product28 TITLE="2006 Saratoga Cuv&#233;e Pinot Noir, Santa Cruz Mountains">2006 Saratoga Cuvée Pinot Noir, Santa Cruz Mountains</A> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Product34 TITLE="2005 Saratoga Cuv&#233;e Cabernet Sauvignon, Santa Cruz Mountains">2005 Saratoga Cuvée Cabernet Sauvignon, Santa Cruz Mountains</A> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Product9 TITLE="Great Wines of America, By Paul Lukacs">Great Wines of America, By Paul Lukacs</A> -- A note worthy new book by Paul Lukacs, profiles forty vintners (Mount Eden included) which represent the pinnacle of American wine. </P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden" TITLE="Mount Eden Vineyards Products">Mount Eden Vineyards Products</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.mounteden.com">Mount Eden Vineyards</A> <BR>Mount Eden Vineyards <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="shopping cart">shopping cart</A> powered by Nexternal
