Summary: From Vines to Wines
Review: When I bought this book, I have to say that I never really had any intention of making wine. While I truly enjoy visiting regional wineries and have quite a full wine rack, I would have thought that it would be just too hard to do. I got this book just to have a better appreciation of the process, but now I think I might try this...some day.You can't beat the price, very reasonable for what you get. It is very detailed and thorough, but not so techincial that it is confusing or overwhelming. Also, I was pleased to see that the author took into account that there are other places to grow wine other than California. I live in Virginia and there are some great local wineries, and the same can be said of New York's Finger Lakes where I went to college. The book covers location, varieties, what varieties grow where, process, and problems. Very comprehensive overall.
