Jake Lorenzo's Third Book Offers Light-hearted, Insiders View of the Wine Industry

Wine Patrol Press has released Continued Surveillance: Mostly True Stories of the Wine Business by Jake Lorenzo, the newest collection of inspired articles by Wine Country’s most audacious author. This new tome is filled with Jake’s trademark humor and keen sense of observation – a great source for learning about the inner workings of the wine industry.

Jake Lorenzo is the pseudonym for legendary Sonoma winemaker Lance Cutler. Cutler is most famously known as Sonoma County’s Winemaker of the Year in 1983, for high-jacking the Napa Wine Train and for almost single handedly bringing a sense of humor to the fine wine business.

Lorenzo writes with power, passion and a sense of humor. Opinionated, controversial and beloved by cellar rats everywhere, Jake Lorenzo’s writings provide an ongoing historical perspective of the industry. There is perhaps no source that will infuse your learning with more chuckles and outright laughter.

Larry Walker, author of Wines of the Napa Valley says, “Jake Lorenzo is the world’s only 100 point writer. Hell, make it 110 points.” Matt Hedges, President of Vino del Sol in Argentina says, “If you want to remember why we are in this business, read this book.” Jerry Henry from WWL Radio New Orleans exclaims, “The funniest book about wine…ever!”

The Jake Lorenzo column and Lance Cutler regularly appear in Wine Business Monthly.
