Touches on the important points, July 26 2007

This review is from: The Backyard Vintner: An Enthusiast's Guide to Growing Grapes and Making Wine at Home (Paperback)
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."

Nice pictures, Mar 15 2009
By O.O. Lake - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Backyard Vintner: An Enthusiast's Guide to Growing Grapes and Making Wine at Home (Paperback)
This book is divided into two parts: The first explains how to grow grapes while the second part focuses on how to make the wine. Very beautiful pictures are presented along the book and make it very enjoyable for reading. However, the amount of information is rather limited. For instance, the explanations about diseases in grapes or the pruning procedure are rather telegraphic, and unsatisfactory. Much better explanations may be found in "The Grape Grower" by Rombough or "From Vines to Wines" by Cox. I find the second part of the book somewhat better. I especially liked the "homework assignments" which supposedly help to develop the organoleptic senses.

Growing grapes made easy, July 28 2007
By Baron Von Mason "Ash" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Backyard Vintner: An Enthusiast's Guide to Growing Grapes and Making Wine at Home (Paperback)
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.
