Wines from Grape Dehydration is the first of its kind in the field of grape dehydration - the controlled drying process which produces a special group of wines. These types of wine are the most ancient, made in the Mediterranean basin, and are even described in Herodotus. Until few years ago, it was thought that these wines - such as Pedro Ximenez, Tokai, Passito, and Vin Santo - were the result of simple grape drying, because the grapes were left in the sun, or inside greenhouses that had no controls over temperature, relative humidity or ventilation. But Amarone wine, one of the most prized wines in the world, is the first wine in which the drying is a controlled process. This controlled process - grape dehydration - changes the grape at the biochemical level, and involves specialist vine management, postharvest technology and production processes, which are different from the typical wine-making procedure. After a history of grape dehydration, the book is then divided into two sections; scientific and technical. The scientific section approaches the subjects of vineyard management and dehydration technology and how they affect the biochemistry and the quality compounds of grape; as well as vinification practices to preserve primary volatiles compounds and colour of grape. The technical section is devoted to four main classes of wine: Amarone, Passito, Pedro Ximenez, and Tokai. The book then covers sweet wines not made by grape dehydration, and the analytical/sensorial characteristics of the wines. A concluding final chapter addresses the market for these special wines. This book is intended for wineries and wine makers, wine operators, postharvest specialists, vineyard managers/growers, enology/wine students, agriculture/viticulture faculties and course leaders and food processing scientists

This book draws on an eight-year study carried out in the DOCG Prosecco area of Italy, a wine region known worldwide. It is unique in the sense that it is based on one of the most comprehensive investigations into terroir zoning ever performed in Italy. By drawing attention to the complex interrelations between environmental and human factors that influence the growth and production of the Glera grape, the study illustrates the distinct correlation between a wine and its 'terroir'.It shows that the morphology of the sites, the meso and microclimate, the soil, the grapevine planting density, the trellising system, the yield of the vineyard, and the vine water status in the summer lead to unique combinations of grape maturity, acidity, and aroma that ultimately influence the sensory properties of the wines produced. Furthermore, the book details numerous technical and agronomic considerations, specific to the "Glera" grape variety, for different production strategies, including a section on the impact of climate change on cv "Glera" phenology."The Power of the Terroir: the Case Study of Prosecco Wine" represents a valuable resource for anyone involved in studies or research activities in the fields of viticulture, climatology, agronomic sciences or soil sciences, but is also of interest to vine growers, professionals in the wine industry, and wine enthusiasts in general.

Visit some of England's finest vineyards to learn how English wine is made. Hear how the grape varieties are selected, how vines are managed and be personally guided around the vineyard. It's a wonderful opportunity to understand the many production processes of sparking and still wines. There is a practical side to the experience too as guests are invited to take part in tasting some of the wines produced and as a memento at the end, some venues even offer a take home bottle of wine as a gift from the vineyard.

Although he is chiefly remembered as the lead singer for Ambrosia, David Pack's musical career since the mid-'80s has been mostly behind the scenes as a songwriter and producer, and he's been pretty successful at it, having produced work for artists like Selena, Wynonna Judd, Aretha Franklin, and Kenny Loggins, and as a music director, he staged events for both of President Clinton's inaugurals, as well as events for Barbra Streisand, Elton John, and Leonard Bernstein, among others. As a solo artist, he released a solo album post-Ambrosia in 1985, then a trio of albums and a five-song EP between 2004 and 2007, but really nothing since, until this interesting release, a conceptual and production collaboration with several Napa Valley vineyards and featuring guest spots from Ray Manzarek, Bla Fleck, Alan Parsons, Todd Rundgren, Larry Carlton, Rick Braun, and others. In a sense, it's an album-sized commercial for Napa Valley and these specific wineries, but what holds it together as more is the wonderful, warm, and bright production and the fact that the songs, written by people who actually work at these wineries, with Pack's help, are for the most part quite melodic and pleasant, filled with a sun-kissed California glow. Some of the songs have a direct wine or vine-related theme, but not all of them, and the best, which include the joyous and racing opener "O' Blessed Vine" (driven by Bla Fleck's banjo playing), the Doors-like "Silverado Free" (featuring Ray Manzarek's distinctive keyboard playing, one of the last tracks he worked on before his death), and the traditional country-sounding (by way of Bakersfield) "Wine Country Cowboy" (featuring the vocals of Jimmy Wayne), all work outside of the Napa Valley context, even as they draw central metaphors from it. It's a pleasure, too, to hear Pack sing, which is a delight in itself, but a lot of these tracks, however nice they might sound, fall a bit to the generic side of things. It's all a bit sweet, but then, there are worse things. The obvious joy that went into

Explore the bucolic Okanagan Valley of south-central British Columbia with Okanagan Slow Road. A compilation of the best of the region's food, drink, and recreation, the book reveals local culinary secrets: crusty double-baked bread, lavender-infused pepper, seasonal vegetables, dark red cherries, sinfully rich double-cream brie, and farm-fresh eggs with yolks so dark they will startle. And of course, the wines. What would delicious local food be without famous vintages from the unique Okanagan terroir? Although not a definitive guide to Okanagan wines, this book is a personal journey from southern desert wineries with their big reds through to the northern Okanagan where crisp whites rule, and includes a list of the many wineries worth visiting. Explore the entire length of the Okanagan Valley, with experiences such as spying a rare canyon wren, cycling the historic Kettle Valley Railroad across heart-stopping trestle bridges or among neatly planted vineyards, hiking through fields of spring flowers, paddling in a protected bay, and climbing on the world-famous gneiss of the Skaha Bluffs. Use the wonderful resource of Okanagan Valley farmers" markets at the back of the book to guide your shopping in the region. Eat local, buy local, cook the food yourself, pair dishes with local vintages, and have a lot of fun in the process. Take your time. Slow down. Taste. Smell. Those are the messages of Okanagan Slow Road.

Our search of the farms, vineyards and ports of the Mediterranean has brought together this remarkable collection of vessels for wine, olive oil and molasses, and our reproductions are as true in detail as possible. This pot looks like a traditional terracotta pot, but in fact it is made of fibreglass and resin the finishes are so authentic it is hard to tell them apart from the real thing. It is a wonderfully versatile material which is light-weight, low maintenance and most of all frost-proof. They are ideal for use indoors as they are outdoors, they are supplied without drainage holes although if required they can be pre drilled by us. If you require holes please type 'drill holes in pots' in the delivery instructions part of the checkout. NB holes must be drilled for outdoor use. Dimensions - 61cm Diameter x 82cm Height

Red Wine by B.R. Cohn from Sonoma County, California. The 2013 Olive Hill Estate Vineyards Cabernet is sustainably farmed and produced from a blend of our best hillside blocks at the Olive Hill Estate Vineyards. B.R. Cohn Winery is located near Glen Ellen in Sonoma Valley between the Mayacamas Mountains and Sonoma Mountain. B.R. Cohn Olive Hill Estate Vineyards has a microclimate suited for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. Soil warmed by underground hot springs help to prevent frost in late winter and early spring. In Summer and Fall, warm days tempered by afternoon coastal breezes and cool nights provide slow even ripening. Sparse gravelly volcanic soil and good cultural practices ensure low vigor, low yield, and small concentrated berries.
