interesting, but not enough detail for the real world
Some domains are discussed in detail (eg pruning), others are almost left out completely (eg disease control (either classic or bio(dynamic)). Vinification is ok, but very little on 'corrective chemistry'. But I did like the book and I do recommend it. But it will make you search for more...
Great source.
For an enthusiast or aspiring home vintner, this guide is of great benefit. Regional proclivities, trellis architecture, timing of the harvest, yeast strains, and cellaring are only a few of the topics of which a novice would have little or no knowledge. Jeff approaches all of these, and many more, in a way that is straightforward and adequate, only occasionally leaning anecdotal to remind the reader that what works for him will not, necessarily, work for you. It's very readable and entirely suitable for someone who has minimal exposure - say, a tour through a small commercial vineyard and winery - to an otherwise mysterious process.
Helpful information
It was purchased to help me with growing my own grapes for winemaking. The information was very helpful
