About the Author:

After putting in more hours working on the student newspaper at the University of London than for his degree in chemistry, it was no surprise that Philip Goldsmith found it easier to get a job as a journalist than a scientist. Little did he know that more than a decade later he would once again be reading about chemistry, albeit the chemistry of wine. When he's not writing, traveling or working hard to extend his life at local wineries, Philip often seeks out misadventure in the great outdoors of the wine country, whether mountain biking in the Santa Cruz Mountains, hiking in Napa, or rafting down the angry Russian river in Sonoma.
