Pinot Pilot, Unabridged Edition: The Story of Brice Cutrer Jones and The Great American Pinot Noir (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780578940151)

From snowbound Alaska to the Ho Chi Minh Trail, from above the clouds at 40,000 feet to a rootless pit in a Sonoma Vineyard, Brice Jones shares his perspectives on the life of a man who won't listen to the word "no." The "rock star" of California wine takes us on a wild ride in his endless quest to produce a world-class Grand Cru wine thousands of miles from the Burgundian vineyards he so successfully emulates. This wide world over, there's no one like Brice. Brice Cutrer Jones is a third-generation military academy graduate. He is a decorated combat pilot with the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Bronze Star, and 14 Air Medals to his credit. A pioneer in American fine wine, he created the top-rated Chardonnay for many years. With many of his employees and colleagues from Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards, he "boogied west" and set out to produce America's finest Pinot Noir at his newest enterprise, Emeritus Vineyards.
