California is going to continue to produce great wines, because I've met a lot of these people and their passion.
Imagine a time when California's wine industry was on the brink of collapse. In 1910, earthquakes, pest invasions, and the looming shadow of prohibition threatened to wipe out this budding sector. Fast forward sixty years, and California wines were being celebrated as superior to their French counterparts by some of France's most discerning sommeliers. How did this remarkable transformation happen?
In 'Crush: The Triumph of California Wine', John Briscoe, a distinguished fellow at The Sea Institute at The University of California at Berkeley, shares the captivating journey of the state's wineries from near extinction to global acclaim. Hosted by Dr. Stephen R. Hausmann, an assistant professor of history at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota, this episode dives into the rich history and resilience of California's wine industry.
Briscoe's narrative is filled with fascinating stories and larger-than-life characters who played pivotal roles in saving and elevating the industry. From the early days of Franciscan Padres planting vineyards to the innovative responses to prohibition, listeners will gain a deep appreciation for the dedication and ingenuity that fueled this incredible turnaround. Briscoe also touches on contemporary challenges, like climate change, reminding us that the industry's past struggles offer valuable lessons for its future.
Whether you're a wine lover or simply curious about how adversity can lead to triumph, this episode offers an engaging and informative listen that celebrates the spirit of innovation and perseverance.
