Customer Reviews

A helpful guide

An easy to understand guidebook with sufficient explanation, good examples and colorful pictures. Giving practical advises instead of theoritical explanations & formulas.

Growing grapes made easy

This book provides usefull and pertinent information all the way from the grape planting process to the wine making process. He walks you through every step carefully, but does not suggest a robotic structure for making wine, he leaves open oppertunies to show your own creativity.

Touches on the important points

I've purchased several "how to" wine books and this one is good, but not great. I would not rely on it as my only reference. Rather, it makes a very good companion for "From Vines to Wines."

great book

Very comprehensive and thorough. Good reading and runs one through the basics and beyond. All good.
