From Karate Kid to Cabernet
Robert Kamen has succeeded as one of Hollywood's most prolific screenwriters, helping to create hits such as The Karate Kid, Taken, The Fifth Element and The Transporter, but his personal passions extend to nurturing a Sonoma mountain vineyard he fell in love with four decades ago. This issue dives into Kamen's wine journey, plus how the volcanic Moon Mountain District AVA is proving that Sonoma can make great Cabernet Sauvignon.
Plus, a primer on limited-edition Bourbons and tasting reports on Spain, California Rhônes and Israel.
