Book excerpt: This superb Wine Atlas is the latest addition to the much-acclaimed Mitchell Beazley series and a companion to Hugh Johnson's World Atlas of Wine. In this new Atlas, Bob Thompson, a leading authority on California wine, appraises the wines, the producers and the wine areas of one of the world's finest wine-producing regions. Over the past 25 years, California wines have grown in quality and status; it is timely that this Atlas should chart this expanding and ever-changing region. In this volume, Bob Thomson also documents the emerging and contrasting vineyards of Washington and Oregon in the Pacific Northwest, making it the most comprehensive survey to date of the wines of the American west coast. The wine regions are portrayed in meticulous detail in 36 newly commissioned maps. These show individual wineyards and wineries, the AVAs (the American appellations) rivers, relief and towns. This degree of detail is of enormous help to winelovers seeking to understand the reasons why good wine is made where it is, and wishing to visit the landscapes which make their favorite wines. The Atlas also describes touring routes around the vineyards, other regional tourist attractions and recommends hotels and restaurants - in fact, all the information a wine enthusiast needs when touring the vineyards.

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."

Download or read book The Geography of Wine written by Percy H. Dougherty and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-02 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wine has been described as a window into places, cultures and times. Geographers have studied wine since the time of the early Greeks and Romans, when viticulturalists realized that the same grape grown in different geographic regions produced wine with differing olfactory and taste characteristics. This book, based on research presented to the Wine Specialty Group of the Association of American Geographers, shows just how far the relationship has come since the time of Bacchus and Dionysus. Geographers have technical input into the wine industry, with exciting new research tackling subjects such as the impact of climate change on grape production, to the use of remote sensing and Geographical Information Systems for improving the quality of crops. This book explores the interdisciplinary connections and science behind world viticulture. Chapters cover a wide range of topics from the way in which landforms and soil affect wine production, to the climatic aberration of the Niagara wine industry, to the social and structural challenges in reshaping the South African wine industry after the fall of apartheid. The fundamentals are detailed too, with a comparative analysis of Bordeaux and Burgundy, and chapters on the geography of wine and the meaning of the term ‘terroir’.
