As the owner of grapeseek.com I am constantly receiving complimentary copies of grape growing books and this is one that really sticks out in my mind for the new or even experienced grower that wants his or her own vineyard. It describes the whole process from beginning to end and even tells you what you should be doing each month of the year and where to aquire the materials you need . Even if you are just a hobby grower this book is about all you would ever need to tend your grapevines. If I could only have 3 or 4 grape growing books this one would definitely be on the list!

This is a great book, recommended to us by Pete Anderson of San Diego. It became a daily reference book for us as we planted our own vineyard, which ended up to be over 1,000 vines in San Diego County. One piece of advice (which I may have missed in the book) " Don't trim your first year vines while they're still growing!" To see how we implemented the recommendations in the book, please visit www.winemakersjournal.com

I was interested in starting a backyard vineyard and this book was exactly what I was looking for. Read it cover to cover in one afternoon. I can't wait to get started. There are lots of illustrations and very simple explainations. Highly recommend it.

This book is proving to be an excellent resource book for us. We were very happy to receive it so soon after ordering it - in the excellent shape and condition the seller had promised.
The instructions in the book are very clear and the illustrations make some of the construction stages such as the stringing of the support wires, watering systems, wire tightening, etc. much easier to understand and use. We are excited about our new vineyard venture and so far this book continues to be invaluable.
