content: This series contains materials relating to "Red, White and American: Wine in American History and Culture," a Smithsonian symposium that commemorated the twentieth anniversary of the 1976 Paris Tasting, which brought international recognition to American wines.  The event was accompanied by an exhibition, "Doubtless as Good: Jefferson's Dream for American Wine Fulfilled," a wine tasting, and a symposium with wine and food historians, wine makers and other experts in the field.  The series is divided into subseries 1.1, which contains a brochure from the event, and a history and bibliography of American wine making from 1773 to 1911 by James Garber, and subseries 1.2, which consists of 18 cassette tapes that record the event's keynote speaker, Harvey Levenstein, the tasting, and symposium proceedings.
