He really does a workman like job of covering all the basics from selection of varieties, and matching with the site through to laying out the trellising and making your own vintage.
If it has a fault, from my perspective, it is that the book is clearly focussed on the North American market and little consideration is given to other areas of the world where vines are grown. Still, he doesn't pretend to be writing for everyone and I still learned a lot about pruning ....which is both an art and a science. I did notice that he didn't mention the Scott-Henry system of vine trellising which my learned friend Richard has long promoted as a way of improving both yields and quality. But he did cover other systems of trellis. I missed some section about the history of wine but I guess there are whole books written just about this subject so that's not a reasonable criticism.
Overall, I quite enjoyed the book even with its US focus. Three stars from me.… (meer)
