Tufi Neder Meyer AT LAST A NEW BOOK ON MADEIRA WINES! It had been a long time since a new book on the fascinanting wines of Madeira appeared. We are fortunate that Richard Mayson, an expert both in Port and Madeira, has published this excellent book on the subject. Complete, up-to-date, with extensive reviews of the producers, as well as of their wines, both present and of old, bringing also tasting notes and data on very antique wines, this work is a must for every lover of the island and its superb products. Highly commendable!Tufi Neder...

Kayo Parsons-Korn Good primer to get you started This is not a huge book, so it can't possibly cover everything about growing grapes and making wine. But it is a very good primer and will give you an idea of the steps involved in establishing a vineyard, growing the grapes and making wine. It is probably stronger on the growing section. Really great pictures of different trellising systems and pruning. I also liked his approach towards pest and disease management. Start with the least harmful application and only go to "hard stuff" in...
Jack B. Keller, Jr. A valuable adjunct to any winemaker's library Gene Spaziani and Ed Halloran have written a book that needed to be written. The first three chapters are the obligatory "how to make wine" chapters ("Getting Started," "Essential How-Tos" and "Wine from Kits"). These have been done better by others, but the book would be incomplete without them.The meat of this book begins with chapter 4, "Wine from Concentrates." And what a chapter it is, covering 13 specific white wine concentrates...
Cassandra7678 Gorgeous.. Perfectly Sized.. Elegant.. Stable.. This is Truly a Gorgeous Pair of Wine Glasses.. I Love how the Crystal Catches and Reflects the Light. These 'Bello Vino' Glasses are Perfect for a Fancy Dinner with Company. The Wide Bowl Allows your Wine to Breath. While the Thin Lip is Great for Wine Tasting.These White Wine Glasses are Functional Enough for Every Day Wine Drinking as Well. They are Short Stemmed. This Allows for More Stability. The Base is as Wide as the Lip to Prevent the Glass from Toppling Over on you...
I really love using these beautiful white wine glasses. They are chic, look exquisite, and feel fabulous in the hand. They are very elegant and the craftsmanship is beautifully executed on these wine glasses.The stem length is perfect on these glasses. They look amazing just sitting around the table, and eve better in your hand! The length was made so that they don't topple over easy, which is always awesome! I really like the cool shape of the glass, and its unlike anything I have...
Hande Z What do dragoons drink? Excellent new book by Wine Spectator contributing editor Suzanne Mustacich that tells the story of how Bordeaux’s pursuits of the Chinese market lead to an influx of Chinese money that rescued the region from economic disaster — but also brought about a series of misunderstandings that threatened Bordeaux’s delicate infrastructure.Well researched and easy to read, Suzanne – a Bordeaux resident – lets the story unfold in a very natural way, as she lived...
Ray Gray Educational, though dated, documentary The name of the documentary is a quite a bit misleading. It gives the impression that the topic will be about new wines for the wine connoisseur. It is actually a documentary by a British company that focuses on "new world" wines and the decline of the European wine industry, including the reasons why.Lets face it, making wine is as old as the first fermented fruit, predating the written word, so change isn't something that continuously occurs in the wine industry. I have a...
A Customer Food Lover Review I decided to purchase Jill's book while attending a cooking class given by her. I learned about the chemical changes that can occur between various wines, salt, sugar and acids. I was fascinated by the way ingredients in food could change my enjoyment of various wines. A group of friends gather once a week for a sampling of Jill's recipes and wine pairings. I am also thrilled with the small portion recipes that are well suited for 6 or less guests. I have been able to adapt the recipes to...
JWINK Good chiller with a nice design addition This wine chiller/aerator/pourer combo is similar to other brands with one design addition that improves a bit on the design. This chiller is stylish and well-made and comes in a nice box that would be good for giving as a gift. The chiller has a stainless steel chilling rod with a clear plastic (with a section made of silicone as a bottle stopper) aerator/pourer that screws into the steel chill stick. To use, you put the rod in the freezer for at...

LSK Good, but not as good I expected It's natural to think of this book as a more regionally detailed version of "The World Atlas of Wine," but that is true only in some respects. The main advantage of the book is longer descriptions of formerly obscure or minor areas that get only a sentence or two in "TWAoW," for me most notably Colorado and the southwestern states as well as oddities like Hawaii.However, for long-established areas such as the main California AVAs, you won't learn much new about the growing...
