Thomas Jefferson - a founding father of America and author of the Declaration of Independence - had a lifelong passion for wine which he avidly shared with an emerging nation. "Thomas Jefferson on Wine" takes a detailed look at how Jefferson's tastes developed, his five important years in Paris where he learned about fine wines at Europe's salons and dinner tables as American Ambassador, which wines and foods he preferred at different stages of his life, and how he became the greatest wine expert of the early American republic. It uses excerpts from Jefferson's own journals and letters to bring to life the pleasures of the wines he enjoyed and concludes with an overview of the current restoration of the vineyards at Monticello, Jefferson's retirement home. This book offers an absorbing and unique historical view which will appeal to many dedicated oenophiles.
