"It's comprehensive, detailed, and specific. Gives you all the details needed to start growing grapes yourself, and even includes information on grape breeding and grafting. Basically, it will get you started and will remain useful if you become more serious about viticulture. It gets a bit technical in places, but I found that very helpful, since many other gardening books do not provide enough concrete specific information.
The only slight qualm I have is that it came out in 2002, so if you want to get the latest on new grape breeds and issues involving the changing climate, you will have to check online. The author himself has a very useful web site."
"Mr. Rombough has done a fantastic job with this book! His experience and knowledge in growing grapes is evident in every page of the book. Even though you are not an organic grower, that should in no way deter you from buying this book if you are interested in growing grapes. Mr. Rombough explains every step of the way in propagating, growing and harvesting grapes, with illustrations and photos to make things clear.
Trusted by beginner and experienced grape growers alike!"
"Wow, this guy knows his grapes! I learned why I didn't have a good crop this year and what I did wrong, but the book is not a practical guide. It is very scientific and detailed for the real enthusiast. I just want to know the basics so I can make grape juice this year! It is inspiring to realize that anyone and everyone can and should grow grapes! Get gardening people! Feed yourselves from your own soil!"
"If you are serious about growing grapes this book is a must read. I have already altered what I'm doing in my vineyard based on this and I feel that I have real insight into natural plant cycles I have observed in my yard without realizing why they were happening.
