Book Reviews of The Winemaker's Answer Book: Solutions to Every Problem; Answers to Every Question (Answer Book (Storey))
Book Review: A Great Help to Any Winemaker (or those just interested!)
Summary: 5 Stars
Alison Crowe dedicates this book to her two grandmothers and all those who "taught her that a woman's place is doing whatever she sets her mind to". This reviewer found that sentiment to be typically Californian, conjuring up many images of what one might call the golden state's "social terroir". Regional mentalities notwithstanding, WAB is just a great book about wine, and packed full of useful information that will appeal to anyone interested in making great wine. Particularly appealing is the format and page layout which begs to be picked up, flipped through, and read anywhere and at anytime. A durable cover is also appreciated, as is the size of the book and the font's ease on the eyes.
In the first part of the book one finds a simple, straightforward timeline of winemaking (for both red and white wines) that serves as an excellent "skeleton" of knowledge that, when assimilated, makes absorbing further information in the book easier- brilliant! Why aren't more books like this? She goes on to answer hundreds of questions from there!
Alison's talent as a writer comes through in clear and concise language, giving explanations that even a layman can understand with a little study. She does not overwhelm the reader with needless inundations of chemical jargon, but writes masterfully about the chemistry in simple terms.
All in all, a fantastic book!
