Pinot Pilot Unabridged Edition

From snowbound Alaska to the Ho Chi Minh Trail from above the clouds at 40000 feet to a rootless pit in a Sonoma Vineyard Brice Jones shares his perspectives on the life of a man who won't listen to the word no. The rock star of California wine takes us on a wild ride in his endless quest to produce a world-class Grand Cru wine thousands of miles from the Burgundian vineyards he so successfully emulates. This wide world over there's no one like Brice. Brice Cutrer Jones is a third-generation military academy graduate. He is a decorated combat pilot with the Distinguished Flying Cross the Bronze Star and 14 Air Medals to his credit. A pioneer in American fine wine he created the top-rated Chardonnay for many years. With many of his employees and colleagues from Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards he boogied west and set out to produce America's finest Pinot Noir at his newest enterprise Emeritus Vineyards.
