Customer Review: Review By Craig Justice, Founder, Blue Merle Vineyard & Winery
When we were planning our vineyard we needed all the help we could get. From Vines To Wines was one book kept by the bedside for constant reference during the planning and planting stage. (The other book was “Vineyard Simple.” The illustrated guide to pruning is exceptionally well done. Now that we’ve made it through year 1, I find myself going back to the book time and again. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in planting a vineyard. Craig Justice, Webmaster of Winemaker’s Journal and Founder, Blue Merle Vineyard & Winery
Customer Review: Especially good for trellising and pruning
I gave this to my father and he was so excited because it focused a lot on building a good trellis with good illustrations and also good for prunning.
These are two things that lack in other books that i have bought him (and that I am starting to be interested in, too).
Of course the book covers all aspects of the grape and wine making process, but the trellising and prunning in more detail was very welcome.
Recommended on all aspects.
