Wine: From Grape to Glass (Jens Priewe)
Price:
$45.00
Quantity in Basket: none
| My Favorite !
The ultimate guide for wine lovers who want to understand where their favorite wines are grown, how they are produced, and how best to savor them.
Internationally acclaimed wine expert Jens Priewe has written the book for the contemporary wine consumer who drinks what he or she likes--one day a grand, awe-inspiring vintage; the next, an unknown wine from a country whose name has only recently appeared on the wine maps of the world. Priewe explains why some wines cost hundreds of dollars while others cost only ten. He provides a key to the complex language of wine and illuminates the science of wine making while honoring the art that creates great wines.
About half of the book is devoted to the wine-making process itself, including everything from why wine grows best in poor soil to why a wine matures faster in a small barrel than in a large one. The other half, including the new topics covered in this edition, examines the best wines of the world, country by country, and guides the reader to an understanding of the intricacies of wine tasting and appreciation. The text has been fully updated throughout and is illustrated with more than 1,000 color images from computer graphics that explain the invisible processes of wine making to photographs of individual vineyards by the world's best wine photographers. Wine will quench the thirst for knowledge that true wine lovers feel rising within them whenever they uncork a bottle of fine wine.
Other Details: 1,000 full-color illustrations.
A beautiful table book we keep in our tasting room! |

Winemaking: Recipes, Equipment, and Techniques for Making Wine at Home (Anderson)
Price:
$22.00
Quantity in Basket: none
| This is an update of The Art of Making Wine by Anderson with Raymond Hull ( LJ 12/15/71). The book includes an introduction to the basic principles; recipes; a reference section with a table of problems and their solutions; a glossary; and a buyer's guide. The recipes are clearly written, with symbols used to designate the different steps. There is a complete variety of wine recipes, using berries, soft fruits, hard fruits, tropical fruits, dried fruits and, of course, fresh grapes. Some recipes are ambitious--one requires 90 pounds of Thompson Seedless table grapes, and the authors warn that a champagne recipe requires a great deal of dedication, practice, and technique. Nevertheless, this is an excellent source for the serious home winemaker.
