If You Want To Know What The WineMakers Know, This Is The Book To Read

CheapWineFinder.com recently attended a tasting given by Chris Ringland of R Wines and Grateful Palate. In Chris’s presentation, he stated that if you really have an interest in wine, you need to read Emile Peynaud’s Knowing and Making Wine. The charts and diagrams contained in the book are essential to understanding wine.

Emile Peynaud is known as the Father of Modern Winemaking and revolutionized the way wine was made in Post World War 2, France. Knowing Wine and Making Wine goes from the basics, such as how to properly taste wine, to the chemistry involved in making wine.

This is a basic reference book for virtually every Winemaker in business today. While not a breezy summer read, there are worse ways of spending a beautiful summer’s day than expanding your knowledge of wine.

Knowing Wine and Making Wine is available on Amazon.com and Ebay, a new copy of the book sells for $88, but used copies are readily available. Google Books has a free preview of the first 48 pages available on-line for all you IPad users.
