Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 25
Not so long ago, wine was an exclusively European product. Now it is thoroughly American; emblematic of Napa Valley, an area idealized as the epicenter of great wines and foods and a cultural tourist destination. But the romanticized accounts you find about it and its denizens is not what you'll encounter in James Conaway's candid book. Napa at Last Light exposes the often shadowy side of the latter days of Napa Valley - marked by complex personal relationships, immense profits, passionate beliefs, and sometimes desperate struggles to prevail. In the balance hang fortunes.

Pass on this one. It’s painful to listen to
Revisado: 04-10-23
Painful to listen to with all the mis-pronunciations. It highlights the struggles people face living in such a glorious place as Napa valley. But it’s done from such a narrow and negative viewpoint that chooses to vilify those involved based on their title and not their character. As someone who lives and works in Napa Valley I hoped this book had some meaningful insights but found myself very disappointed that I wasted my time listening to it.
