Spend a fascinating evening with two of America's favorite Founding Fathers. Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson sit down with you in the comfort of Jefferson's Paris residence and, in response to your questions, tell in their own words the most interesting stories of their lives.

Wine critic Robert Parker, Jr. calls An Evening with Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson: Dinner, Wine, and Conversation "a brilliant roman a clef around wine and the lives and travels of Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin. This is a marvelously enlightening book for both historians and wine enthusiasts."

Walter Isaacson, author of Benjamin Franklin: An American Life notes that "The friendship between Franklin and Jefferson is a delectable part of America's founding, and it was fueld by dinner, wine, and conversation. Jim Gabler captures those aspects and more in this fictional but fact-based imaginative journey. It reminds us of the wisdom and also the joy these men brought to their lives."

Franklin and Jefferson were both wine lovers, and wine is a topic of conversation throughout the evening, including whether the bottle of "1787 Laffite" engraved with the initials "Th.J." and sold at Christie's in December 1985 for $156,450 (the world's most expensive bottle of wine), was ever owned by Jefferson.
