The book for cold climate viticulture, Nov 17 2009
By Michael A. Duvernois - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Northern Wineworks 2nd Edition (Paperback)
The second edition is a huge step forward. There has been a tremendous amount of progress since the first edition (2002) in wine grape growing in the colder regions of the United States and into Canada. Tasting Minnesota wines I've seen real progress even in the last couple of years. There really can be good wines, not just novelty wines, produced in the colder climates of the upper Midwest, New England, and into Ontario Province.The winemaking has also changed and improved, though not as dramatically as the viticulture. There's some information of yeasts and methods particular to colder climates.
Overall an excellent book, with a major (2009) update. Recommended for anyone interested in wines from colder climates than the Yakima Valley.

This review is from: Northern Wineworks 2nd Edition (Paperback)
I enjoyed reading this book. It is full of information on how to deal with those cold winters. Although I'm located a bit further south, this book gives excellent details for the varieties showcased. Great details for winemaking of each of the specific varieties, and very informative. They provide an honest evaluation of the wines, to keep your expections realistic. This will come in very handy when deciding to blend or make a varietal. With dedicated growers like Tom and Bob, everyone can benifit from thier work for years to come. Keep it up!
