Northern Winework: Growing Grapes and Making Wine in Cold Climates (Italian Pantry Collection)
There is a recent phenomenon of growing wine grapes in cold climates where it was previously believed impossible. The authors researched and visited grape growing in Estonia, Latvia, Denmark and Belarus and brought back the technology and grape varieties to Minnesota where they have successfully developed vineyards and made the wine. Wine grapes are now grown in every state in the US, including Alaska and North Dakota. This is a 'hands-on' book with photographs, figures and tables. The 34 grape varieties of special interest for cold climates and detailed instructions on winter vine survival are provided. Selecting a vineyard site, training and pruning, grape ripening and keys to successful winemaking are detailed.

Customer Review: Northern Winework, Growing Grapes and Making Wine

I received this book sooner than anything else I have ordered and in very good shape. I will order from them again.

Customer Review: A good cold climate grape reference

This book provides new information on grape growing in cold climate areas that was not available previously. The book includes descriptions and photographs of many cold climate grapes. While the climate I am in is not exactly a cold climate, some of the same issues apply, such as budbreak vs last frost date, winter survival and cold hardiness. The author discusses varities from Eastern Europe (that I cannot spell or pronounce), as well as cold hardy selections from Elmer Swenson and David McGregor. If you are interested in growing grapes and your winter temperature goes below -10 deg F, this book is an excellent resource.
