Download or read book A Companion to California Wine written by Charles L. Sullivan and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1998-10-01 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California is the nation's great vineyard, supplying grapes for most of the wine produced in the United States. The state is home to more than 700 wineries, and California's premier wines are recognized throughout the world. But until now there has been no comprehensive guide to California wine and winemaking. Charles L. Sullivan's A Companion to California Wine admirably fills that gap—here is the reference work for consumers, wine writers, producers, and scholars. Sullivan's encyclopedic handbook traces the Golden State's wine industry from its mission period and Gold Rush origins down to last year's planting and vintage statistics. All aspects of wine are included, and wine production from vine propagation to bottling is described in straightforward language. There are entries for some 750 wineries, both historical and contemporary; for more than 100 wine grape varieties, from Aleatico to Zinfandel; and for wine types from claret to vermouth—all given in a historical context. In the book's foreword the doyen of wine writers, Hugh Johnson, tells of his own forty-year appreciation of California wine and its history. "Charles Sullivan's Companion," he adds, "will provide the grist for debate, speculation, and reminiscence from now on. With admirable dispassion he sets before us just what has happened in the plot so far."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The California Vine Disease: A Preliminary Report of Investigations The requirements of the United States for raisins and for wine are in advance of the amount which California can at present produce. This is more especially true of the demand for raisins. The raisin crop of 1890 is given as pounds. The imports for the year ending June 30, 1890, are given in the report of the Treasury Department as pounds. The present demand for raisins, therefore, is more than double the home supply. This is not the limit of the growth of this industry, for the consumption per capita of raisins in the United States is much below the amount liable to be consumed in the future; and an immediate and abundant supply of this healthful product will result in a large increase in consumption. The increase of population will constantly call for an increased production; and it may be said that the demands of the country are much in excess of the domestic supply, and that the acreage of raisin grapes might be largely increased with safety. This does not take into account our growing ability to compete for trade in Canadian or other foreign markets. The wine supply of the United States is more nearly equal to the demand than is the supply of raisins. About gallons of wine and its products were imported in 1890, while the Californian output was gallons. The importation Should be largely cut off in the future by the Californian product. It is also probable that the in crease in the wine trade due to the normal growth in consumption will more and more gravitate to California for the better class of wines, rather than remain in the East, where only native grapes are grown, or go to foreign vine growers. At present between and gallons of wine are produced from the American varieties of grapes. The market for Californian-grown table grapes is large and is capable of great expansion. The total crop of table grapes in the United States for 1890 was over tons, of which only tons were produced in California. It can hardly be questioned that much more of this total consumption will eventually be supplied by California vine-growers. Importations will also be largely replaced with California-grown fruit.

Download or read book A History of Wine in America Volume 2 written by Thomas Pinney and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2005-07-05 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Wine in America is the definitive account of winemaking in the United States, first as it was carried out under Prohibition, and then as it developed and spread to all fifty states after the repeal of Prohibition. Engagingly written, exhaustively researched, and rich in detail, this book describes how Prohibition devastated the wine industry, the conditions of renewal after Repeal, the various New Deal measures that affected wine, and the early markets and methods. Thomas Pinney goes on to examine the effects of World War II and how the troubled postwar years led to the great wine boom of the late 1960s, the spread of winegrowing to almost every state, and its continued expansion to the present day. The history of wine in America is, in many ways, the history of America and of American enterprise in microcosm. Pinney's sweeping narrative comprises a lively cast of characters that includes politicians, bootleggers, entrepreneurs, growers, scientists, and visionaries. Pinney relates the development of winemaking in states such as New York and Ohio; its extension to Pennsylvania, Virginia, Texas, and other states; and its notable successes in California, Washington, and Oregon. He is the first to tell the complete and connected story of the rebirth of the wine industry in California, now one of the most successful winemaking regions in the world.
Download or read book The Grapes of Conquest written by Julia Ornelas-Higdon and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2023-11 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California’s wine country conjures images of pastoral vineyards and cellars lined with oak barrels. As a mainstay of the state’s economy, California wines occupy the popular imagination like never before and drive tourism in famous viticultural regions across the state. Scholars know remarkably little, however, about the history of the wine industry and the diverse groups who built it. In fact, contemporary stereotypes belie how the state’s commercial wine industry was born amid social turmoil and racialized violence in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century California. In The Grapes of Conquest Julia Ornelas-Higdon addresses these gaps in the historical narrative and popular imagination. Beginning with the industry’s inception at the California missions, Ornelas-Higdon examines the evolution of wine growing across three distinct political regimes—Spanish, Mexican, and American—through the industry’s demise after Prohibition. This interethnic study of race and labor in California examines how California Natives, Mexican Californios, Chinese immigrants, and Euro-Americans came together to build the industry. Ornelas-Higdon identifies the birth of the wine industry as a significant missing piece of California history—one that reshapes scholars’ understandings of how conquest played out, how race and citizenship were constructed, and how agribusiness emerged across the region. The Grapes of Conquest unearths the working-class, multiracial roots of the California wine industry, challenging its contemporary identity as the purview of elite populations.
