Book Description

Excerpt from American Grape Growing and Wine Making: With Several Added Chapters on the Grape Industries of California To do my Share in this great work, to contribute my mite to the fund of general knowledge, has been the aim of the additional pages, devoted mainly to grape culture and wine making on the Pacific Coast. It is true that my experience here is but limited, but I have observed closely, and have quoted the experience of others wherever I could obtain it. I do not claim to be an authority, nor do I acknowledge any. We are all workers In a common cause, liable to err, but also gathering experience as we labor, which may be of service to others, if imparted. Let me hope, that my brother Vintners will receive this new edi tion as kindly as the former one. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
