Meaningless chatter, no real content. Focus is on the guest, not the subject, anyone could come up with these platitudes.

I would call this more of a compendium of only scantly related stories, related to wine. On the positive side, this book is based on scholarly research and contains a great deal of very interesting information. I found the format disjointed with the back and forth between interesting 19th century California wine history and reporting about a 21st century arson and arsonist. The unifying factor was wine made by the author's ancestor in the 19th century, some of which ended up in the fire, but this through line is much more relevant to the author than reader in my opinion. Some reviewers seemed to like the arsonist's story and some like the California history, not many seemed to like both. I fall in the history group, as the author uncovered much information about California wine history from the 19th century little known or forgotten. The arsonist covered in excruciating detail isn't the least bit interesting as a person, and the catastrophic fire he caused, and the resulting devastation for many wine producers, is well known and could be detailed in a magazine article without missing much. The best features of the book are ruined by awful narration in the audible version. Robotic and rife with constantly mispronounced words that anyone familiar with wines or the wine industry would know. Malpractice for any good narrator.
