This book is an argument that, despite the passage of the 18th Amendment in 1919 and the subsequent nationwide prohibition of alcohol, the grape-growing and winemaking industries have continued to thrive in California. The author meticulously documents the challenges faced by these industries during this period of legal prohibition, including the rise of organized crime, the proliferation of speakeasies, and the ingenuity of those who sought to circumvent the law. Along the way, the book provides a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural history of California during the Roaring Twenties and beyond, shedding light on the enduring significance of the state's wine industry and its role in shaping the American experience.
