In A Toast to Eclipse, Brian McGinty offers a definitive history of the sparkling wines of California, exploring the state's winemaking past and two of the people who put the state's varietal wines on the map: Arpad and his father Agoston Haraszthy, the legendary "father of California viticulture." Inspired by his father's dream of making California one of the world's great viticultural regions, Arpad Haraszthy (1840-1900) pursued that goal at a time when the best grapes for making California wine had yet to be discovered, when the best locations for vineyards had not yet been established. Aficionados of wine and of California history will find this narrative insightful and refreshing, and all readers will gain an appreciation for Arpad Haraszthy, Eclipse, and the delicate process of making a wine sparkle.
