An exceptionally scarce first edition of "the first truly American book on grape growing and wine making" by the owner of the first commercial winery in the United States. John James Dufour emigrated to the United States from the Swiss winemaking canton of Vaud in 1796, with a mission to find land for a colony of settlers to grow grapes and make wine. He toured the United States, examining all of the known vineyards at the time, but was disappointed by what he found in the mid-Atlantic states, including the vineyards at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. Dufour traveled west, over the Appalachian Mountains, to explore vineyards on the frontier, where he found the prospects more promising. He eventually settled at Big Bend, on the Kentucky River, in 1798, where he founded the aptly-named "First Vineyard" colony, planting vines he believed to be of European stock. The results were mixed, which inspired him to embark upon a period of serious experimentation, and necessitated another move farther west. Dufour and the other settlers purchased a second piece of land in Indiana on the banks of the Ohio River and named it New Switzerland. This second settlement was more successful, and resulted in the production of America's first commercial wines. Throughout his life, Dufour had made efforts to share his knowledge of grape growing and wine making, and in that spirit in the year before his death he published The Vine Dresser's Guide. The book is an astonishing work of both observation and experimentation, deriving from his thorough tours of American vineyards, giving him unprecedented experience and perspective, and enabling him to write a guide-book that was the first to be free of the derivative practices that were prescribed in earlier works. Gabler calls Dufour's account of these observations, "The most accurate account of grape growing in the United States at the beginning of the 19th century." Dufour also realized that America could do better, that grape varieties could be improved through selective plant breeding, and advocated a series of growing protocols which are still widely in use today. To this day, the town of Vevay, which sits on the banks of the Ohio River in Switzerland Country, Indiana, celebrates Dufour's legacy with its annual Swiss Wine Festival. Based on the evidence of Dufour's will and the surviving records of his estate, it is estimated that the book was printed in an edition of five hundred copies, with scant records at auction or in commerce.
