RE: [ampelography] Books on Ampleography

Ray,

Can you be a little more specific about what you seek.

Are you looking to learn about classical ampelographic methods?
Are you looking for a book with information about grape varieties?
Should it be for the entire globe, or just a specific area?
Does it need to be in English?

Mark Hart

Ray, Sadly, that book has not been written yet. With a collection of books you can approach that, but it is hard if you stay in English. Part of this is that...

Got to be honest. It's not that good of a book. Telling merlot from cabernet savignon would be easy. others are not and it depends alot on which leaf you pick...
