Whether a committed vintner or a novice at your neighborhood wine tasting party, this 1862 classic is sure to provide interesting reading for anyone who loves the fruit of the vine. One might be tempted to think that American wine growing started with Ernest and Julio Gallo and exploded in the 1990s and 2000s.
The fact is that Americans have been growing wine since before America was America. Included in this volume are letters from Thomas Jefferson on his favorite beverage.
John Phin, (1832-1913), was born in Scotland but lived many years in Paterson, New Jersey. He was a prolific author and publisher, a teacher of applied science, and a Shakespeare scholar. The dude knew his stuff.
For the first time, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
