What do winegrowers do, exactly, besides pick grapes? This book answers that question and more, joyfully tracing the path from vineyard to wineglass.

A vade-mecum teeming with tips, witticism, object lessons, and good horse sense, this book is a splendid reportage in the style of a family album, a peek behind the scenes of the profession and into the lives of our friends the winegrowers. No one has ever explained wine quite like this! Illustrated with lavish photos, this work is a hymn to nature through vineyards and viticulteurs.
