Synopsis
The American Wine Society has been helping winemakers and grape owners to improve their skills for over 25 years.

The authors have over 100 years of combined, hands-on experience at growing wine grapes. They explain in plain English how to consistently grow extraordinary wine grapes with the modest, home vineyard in mind. The book will appeal to any person interested in successfully growing wine grapes that will provide excellent wines year-after-year.
Customer Reviews
If you're gonna plant a few grapes, read this book!
You could probably learn a lot from this little book even if you weren't going to plant a few vines, but if you're even thinking of growing grapes, this is a great little primer. It isn't going to make you a viticulturist, but it will prepare you for what you're about to get into. In the process, it will probably help you avoid more than a few mistakes.
The American Wine Society does select good authors. Each chapter is tightly written, adequately illustrated, and easily read and absorbed. Most are simply practical, as they should be. A couple border on being scholarly, which is a plus. Dr. John R. McGrew wrote six of the ten chapters. He's no T. V. Munson, but he is a professional grape breeder and a darn good winemaker, too. You can take his word to the bank.
If you think you might like to plant a few vines out back, buy this book. Read it cover-to-cover and then read Jeff Cox's From Vines to Wines. Long before the planting, you'll be dreaming of future ! harvests and vintage wines.
