That changed dramatically when Steven Spurrier and Patricia Gallagher decided to host a blind tasting of American and French wines in Paris. When wines from California defeated those of France, the world was shocked, an industry reawakened, and Napa Valley exploded in a frenzy of growth and development. Families who had farmed for generations battled to hang onto their land, and many paid a steep price as the area transformed into one of the world's premier wine-growing regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoin author Mark Gudgel as he explores the trials and tribulations of Napa's meteoric rise to prominence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Mark Gudgel is a father, husband, college professor, marathon runner and author.
