Winemakers all over the world have set out in search of the Holy Grail: to repeat Burgundy’s success with Pinot Noir. Benjamin Lewin, author of the bestselling books, What Price Bordeaux and Wine Myths and Reality, travels from Burgundy through the other cool climates of Europe where Pinot Noir is grown, to the West Coast of North America, and to Australia and New Zealand in search of the true Pinot Noir. In Search of Pinot Noir investigates the changing character of Burgundy, asks what happens to Pinot Noir outside of Burgundy, and examines how the wines of each region age. How far are styles of Pinot Noir inside and outside of Burgundy due to terroir and how far are they influenced by winemaking? Extensive tasting notes address these issues and complement discussion of the regions where Pinot Noir is grown. Is Pinot Noir uniquely successful in Burgundy or have other regions in Europe or the New World succeeded in their challenge? Can Pinot Noir really achieve its full complexity only on limestone soils, or does it produce equally interesting expressions in other terroirs? Is there only one true path for Pinot Noir or have plantings in new places revealed alternative truths for this fascinating grape? What is the ultimate Pinot Noir?

Ohmart uthor and entomologist Clifford P. Ohmart brings reason and clarity to the politically loaded and amorphously defined popular world of sustainable viticulture with this unique and comprehensive examination of the subject. View from the Vineyard does much more than explain what “sustainable” means, its practical importance to the wine industry and the costs of agribusiness as usual. It provides the farmer with a realistic and achievable path to a sustainable vineyard by describing: • The challenges of practicing sustainable winegrowing • Where does Integrated Pest Management fit in? • How are organic and sustainable farming related? • A holistic vision for the farm • How to identify and define your farm’s resources • Methods for developing sustainable goals • Creating a plan to achieve your holistic vision • Ecosystem management and sensitive species • Understanding the vineyard as habitat The book concludes with a self-assessment guide in which growers can easily track their progress through these transitional periods. Clifford P. Ohmart, Ph.D. is the author of the Lodi Winegrower’s Workbook and co-editor and co-author of the Code of Sustainable Winegrowing Practices Self-Assessment Workbook published in 2002 by the Wine Institute and California Association of Winegrape Growers. He also writes a bi-monthly column on sustainable winegrowing for Wines & Vines magazine, has authored 34 peer-reviewed research papers in international science journals and presented over 300 seminars, conference papers and symposia papers at Universities, government research organizations, and grower groups throughout the world.

After all, Jesus’ first miracle is one of Western civilization’s formative symbols. But what most don’t know is how important wine and its production was to ancient Israelites, and how its inextricable place in their lives is reflected in the Biblical narrative. Jabier Marquinez gives readers a unique insight into this historical winemaking world with direct references from the Old and New Testament which relay such intricate details as: • Specific vineyard practices from grafting and pruning to watering and fertilizing. • Ethical labor agreements with foreign vineyard workers. • Vineyard pests and proper abatement techniques. • Harvesting, blending and storage procedures. • Ancient winery technology. • The use of wine as medicine and dyes. • Why a farmer with an active vineyard was entitled to a military service exemption. Wine in the Bible is a fascinating examination of the daily working lives and practices of Bible-era winemakers and wine drinkers. O Paperback, 6 x 8½ inches 125 pp, full-color, indexed $19.95.

Appassimento, the delicate act of drying grapes which is fundamental to the style, has been in practice since Roman times, and the wine is a proud part of Venetian culture. But Amarone is also a modern creation. The big, rich, red wine was first internationally marketed in its current dry form in the midtwentieth century. What twenty-first century wine lovers around the world know and cherish as Amarone is a product of age-old technique, modern science, and a few visionaries, primary among them, Sandro Boscaini. Acclaimed wine writer Kate Singleton tells of Amarone’s rise to global distinction through the recollections of Sandro Boscaini, founder and president of Masi Agricola, from his earliest memories of sleeping a floor below newly harvest grapes drying on racks in the attic to convincing the editors of Wine Spectator to perform and publish the magazine’s first Amarone tasting. To fully appreciate Amarone one must know the history of the Valpolicella and the Venetian Republic, a legacy which Singleton conveys in a rousing narrative. Also, Sandro Boscaini lovingly details the development of his technique, the special nature of the terrain and his connection to it, and the necessary elements that make a world class Amarone. Amarone is a passionate account of this unique wine, the place and people where it is grown and made, and the pleasure in sharing it with the rest of the world.

Indeed, it is about the synergistic value-effect the convergence of things of intrinsic value—art and wine—can have.” Robert Arneson —Donald Kuspit, Wine And Art: The Grand Alliance IMAGERY: Art for Wine Hung Liu Bob Nugent, foreword by Donald Kuspit n 1985 wine-maker Joe Benziger and Sonoma artist Bob Nugent struck on the idea of putting original art on special releases of Imagery Estate Wines. The goal was straight-forward: to commission the world’s modern art luminaries to create works for reproduction onto wine labels. Two decades and 160 labels later, they have assembled a staggering collection of contemporary art from the likes of Sol Lewitt, Terry Winters, Nancy Graves, John Baldessari, Judy Pfaff and Bob Arneson. This book highlights 133 works of art, the best of the Imagery collection. The images are big, lush, and accompanied by biographical sketches of the artists’ careers, as well as short descriptions of their individual ideas and methods. The pictorial index shows the works in their label form, from 1985 to the most recent vintages. These images are evocations of wine’s multi-faceted ability to inspire us.
