Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Memoir on the Cultivation of the Vine in America, and the Best Mode of Making Wine In April, or beginning of May, when the Vines begin to shoot, you must carefully look them over, rubbing offal] the small buds which may come from the old wood, which only produce weak dang ling branches; as also when two shoots are produced from the same bud, the weakest of them should be displaced, which will cause the others to be stron ger; and the sooner this is done, the better it is for the Vines.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1823 edition. Excerpt: ... Grapes, whose juice after fermenting, affords a noble and rich liquor; which Grapes are almost always observed to be austere, and by no means palatable. This is also agreeable to the constant practice of our Cider-makers, who always observe, that the best eating apples, make but poor Cider; whereas the more rough and austere sorts, after being pressed and fermented, afford a strong vineous liquor. And I believe it will be found true in all fruits, that where the natural heat of the sun ripens and prepares their juices, so as to render them palatable, whatever degree of heat these juices have more, either from fermentation, or from any other cause, will render the Vine weaker and less spirituous. Of this we have many instances in fruits; for if we transplant any of our Summer or Autumn fruits, which ripen perfectly in England, without the assistance of art, into a climate a few degrees warmer, these fruits will become mealy and insipid: so, likewise, if we bake or stew any of those fruits, they will be good for little, losing all their spirit and flavour by the additional heat of the fire; and such fruits by no means eatable raw, are hereby rendered exquisite, which, if transplanted into a warmer climate, have, by the additional heat of the sun, been also altered, so as to exceed the most delicious of our fruit in this country. From whence, it is plain, that those Grapes which are most agreeable to the palate for eating. are not proper for wine; in making of which, their juices must undergo a strong fermentation; therefore, since we only propagate the most palatable Grapes for eating, and neglect the other sorts, before we plant Vineyards, we should take care to to be provided with proper sorts." Of which I have five kinds, of each of...
Download or read book The Search for Good Wine written by John Hailman and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2014-10-08 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Search for Good Wine is a highly entertaining and informative book on all aspects of wine and its consumption by nationally-syndicated wine columnist John Hailman, author of the critically-acclaimed Thomas Jefferson on Wine (2006). Hailman explores the wine-drinking experiences and tastes of famous wine-lovers from jolly Ben Franklin and the surprisingly enthusiastic George Washington to Julius Caesar, Sherlock Holmes, and Ernest Hemingway among numerous other famous figures. Hailman also recounts in fascinating detail the exotic life of the founder of the California wine industry, Hungarian Agoston Haraszthy, who introduced Zinfandel to the U.S. Hailman gives calm and reliable guidance on how to deal with snobby wine waiters and how to choose the best wine books and travel guides. He simplifies the ABCs of wine-grape types from the delicate pinot noirs of Oregon to the robust malbecs of Argentina and from the vibrant new whites of Spain to the great reds (old and new) of Italy. The entire book is dedicated to finding values in wine. As Hailman says, “Everyone always wants to know one basic thing: How can you get the best possible wine for the lowest possible price?” His new book is highly practical and effective in answering that eternal question and many more about wine. A judge at the top international wine competitions for over thirty years, Hailman examines those experiences and the value of “blind” tastings. He gives insightful tips on how to select a good wine store, how to decipher wine labels and wine lists, and even how to extract unruly champagne corks without crippling yourself or others. Hailman simplifies wine jargon and effectively demystifies the culture of wine fascination, restoring the consumption of wine to the natural pleasure it really should be.

Download or read book Pioneering American Wine written by Nicholas Herbemont and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2010-01-25 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume collects the most important writings on viticulture by Nicholas Herbemont (1771-1839), who is widely considered the finest practicing winemaker of the early United States. Included are his two major treatises on viticulture, thirty-one other published pieces on vine growing and wine making, and essays that outline his agrarian philosophy. Over the course of his career, Herbemont cultivated more than three hundred varieties of grapes in a garden the size of a city block in Columbia, South Carolina, and in a vineyard at his plantation, Palmyra, just outside the city. Born in France, Herbemont carefully tested the most widely held methods of growing, pruning, processing, and fermentation in use in Europe to see which proved effective in the southern environment. His treatise "Wine Making," first published in the American Farmer in 1833, became for a generation the most widely read and reliable American guide to the art of producing potable vintage. David S. Shields, in his introductory essay, positions Herbemont not only as important to the history of viticulture in America but also as a notable proponent of agricultural reform in the South. Herbemont advocated such practices as crop rotation and soil replenishment and was an outspoken critic of slave-based cotton culture.

Download or read book The Cultivation of the Native Grape and Manufacture of American Wines written by George Husmann and published by . This book was released on 2013-09-25 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1866, this was among the very first books in America on the subject of wine production. The author, George Husmann, was a German immigrant, civil war veteran, Missouri resident, and one of Americas leading experts on wine. He founded the first national magazine devoted to wine, and believed that good wine could be produced in America. He achieved international renown in the late 1870's when he helped saved vineyards in France devastated by root louse, by shipping his resistant American stock to France. Although many works on the subject of growing wine have been written in recent years, this remains a classic. It was written as a practical how-to guide for anyone interested in growing grapes and creating their own vineyard. Much of the advice is still pertinent and especially relevant to bio dynamic and organic vineyards today. INTRODUCTION GRAPE CULTURE. PROPAGATION OF THE VINE.
