Best book i found for the beginner like me!!:
Very good book and well written..Has an answer to all questions i was wanting to ask. Bought several books and this was only one that gave me straightforward advice that i could really use.

If only one book, this is it:
Complete, easy to read. We refer back to this book often and it's helped take us from home grapegrower to commercial winery.

Great Intro to Grape growing and Wine Making:
After years of making our own wine and finally living in a world class grape growing region we wanted to try out hand at growing grapes. This book provided excellent information for the entire process. We've followed the advice in this book and have had good result with our grapes for two years.

Easy Read:
This is a well compiled, easy to read treatise on the subjects of viticulture and eneology. Focused on the layperson, it is very easy reading whilst glossing over none of the facts. The book covers growing grapes suitable for wine, focused specifically on the North American region. It doesn't labor over the different types of grapes and their most suitable areas but it does give some information. It covers the history on wine making grapes and some of their historical regions. Moreover, it gives details on trellising and pruning techniques. Further, the book describes the process of winemaking. The authors easy going an informative style provides for a pleasant read. The author provides the reader with incite into his own experiences and even suggests alternatives to the common approach. I could recommend this book, not only to a perspective grape grower or wine maker, but to those that would like to learn more about wine, its history and how to taste it (all of which are between these covers).
