James Gabler spent eight years researching our third president's interests in wine and food and followed his footsteps through Europe and America to produce this 1995 winner of the Veuve Cliquot "Wine Book of the Year."

Twelve of the sixteen chapters cover Jefferson's five years in France where he served as our minister and traveled through France, England, Germany, Italy and Holland. Gabler also cites Jefferson's own perceptive comments, which are shockingly astute and are valid even today. It is a marvelous account of America's first gourmet and the most knowledgeable wine connoisseur of his age.
