About this title

Synopsis:

As the United States emerges as one of the world's most dynamic wine-producing countries. Wines of the Pacific Northwest explores the history, wine laws, terroir, viticulture, vinification and producers of Washington and Oregon. Within each state the main wine regions are identified and described. Specially commissioned maps show where the wine producing areas and wineries are in each region. The key influences on the wines are explored, with contemporary issues such as bio-dynamics, organic practices and foreign investment considered in detail. A comprehensive producer guide gives profiles on every significant producer, detailing all the key facts such as how many acres are in production, how many cases are produced each year and from which grape varieties the wines are made. Other useful details include winemaking methods and other influences on wine style. Throughout the book, colour photographs help guide the reader through the landscape and wineries of the Pacific Northwest.
