Re: [ampelography] Books on Ampleography

Hi Ron

Yes, I know what you mean. The real proper technical
books are very expensive. I want something in
English, informative, gives reasonable answers to
relatively difficult questions, and is moderately
priced. I have books like the Galet Grape Varieties
book, but it won't answer the question to the main
difference between the Merlot and the Carmenère!

Thanks,

Regards,

Ray Pryke

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...

Once you can come up with an extensive list of the species names and synonyms, you can find a lot right on the web that describes the species. Of course some...

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...
