Ebook: The Winemaker's Hand: Conversations on Talent, Technique, and Terroir

The Winemaker's Hand is the next best thing to visiting a winery and chatting with a vintner. Natalie Berkowitz's fascinating interviews feature more than forty winemakers from diverse wine-producing regions describing the myriad factors that shape the complex process of converting grapes into wine. Winemakers from the United States, Chile, England, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia, and Spain explain the factors that work to create a wide spectrum of wines across the globe. They offer rare insights into the impact of local terroirs and the vagaries of nature on historic and innovative winemaking practices. Most important, these conversations show how a winemaker's training, passion, artistry, experience, and traditions combine to shape their wines. This book features personal recipes, maps, and a history of each winemaking region. An aroma wheel captures the vast array of wine's complex flavors and scents.
