Book Synopsis The History of Texas Wine by : Katherine Crain
Download or read book The History of Texas Wine written by Katherine Crain and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07-23 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sample the untold history of Texas’s wine industry in this book filled with fascinating stories and photos. Spanish colonists may have come to Texas to spread Christianity, but under visionary Father Fray Garcia, they stayed and raised grapes. Later immigrants brought their own burgundy tastes of home, creating a unique wine country. When a North American pest threatened European vines, it was Texan scientist T. V. Munson who helped save the industry overseas. When Prohibition loomed stateside, Frank Qualia's Val Verde Winery in Del Rio survived by selling communion wine—and it’s now the longest-operating bonded winery in the state. Today, tourists flock to Texas vineyards, and the state sells more wine every year. Join local experts Kathy and Neil Crain and sample the untold story of Texas's wine industry, a 350-year story that is still reaching its savory peak.

Texas grapes grow in soils made from ancient sea deposits, similar to the grape-growing regions of Europe.

The 1800s brought German and Italian immigrant farmers to Texas; they considered wine a staple of everyday life. In what is now America's No. 5 wine-producing state, the Texas Hill Country was named by Wine Enthusiast magazine to its 2014 list of best international wine destinations. It may surprise some, but not the wine aficionados who have visited the Texas Hill Country's 50 or more wineries, that wine-and-culinary tourism is currently the Texas Hill Country's fastest growing sector.

Download or read book Grape Man of Texas written by Roy Renfro and published by Board and Bench Publishing. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grape Man of Texas is the first biography of Thomas Volney Munson (1843-1913), the internationally recognized horticulturist who developed over 300 new varieties of grapes, some of which are still grown today on almost every continent. He is perhaps best known for his work in fighting the phylloxera epidemic of the late nineteenth century, which nearly destroyed the world's vineyards. His solution—grafting vinifera onto certain resistant native rootstocks from Texas—earned him the Chevalier du Merite Agricole in the French Legion of Honor and numerous accolades. This second edition introduces new insights into the phylloxera period, Munson's many papers and publications, and his far-sighted grasp of the needs of twentieth century agriculture and transportation. It details the continuing influence of both his research and his hybrid grapes on modern viticulture and new varieties of vitis that have been bred from them around the world.

Book Synopsis American Rhone by : Patrick J. Comiskey
Download or read book American Rhone written by Patrick J. Comiskey and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Thoughtfully conceived and very well written, this is essential somm reading."—The Somm Journal "This is the most important wine book of the year, perhaps in many years."—The Seattle Times "Crisply written, impeccably researched, balanced if fundamentally enthusiastic, scholarly but accessible, and full of unexpected details and characters."—The World of Fine Wine No wine category has seen more dramatic growth in recent years than American Rhône–variety wines. Winemakers are devoting more energy, more acreage, and more bottlings to Rhône varieties than ever before. The flagship Rhône red, Syrah, is routinely touted as one of California’s most promising varieties, capable of tremendous adaptability as a vine, wonderfully variable in style, and highly expressive of place. There has never been a better time for American Rhône wine producers. American Rhône is the untold history of the American Rhône wine movement. The popularity of these wines has been hard fought; this is a story of fringe players, unknown varieties, and longshot efforts finding their way to the mainstream. It’s the story of winemakers gathering sufficient strength in numbers to forge a triumph of the obscure and the brash. But, more than this, it is the story of the maturation of the American palate and a new republic of wine lovers whose restless tastes and curiosity led them to Rhône wines just as those wines were reaching a critical mass in the marketplace. Patrick J. Comiskey’s history of the American Rhône wine movement is both a compelling underdog success story and an essential reference for the wine professional.

Book Synopsis Texas Wine Pioneers by : Gretchen Glasscock
Download or read book Texas Wine Pioneers written by Gretchen Glasscock and published by Advancing Texas Wine. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years preceding the seventies, America began to awaken to locally sourced food and wine; a key turning point was The Judgement of Paris in 1976, a moment that rocked the world of wine and set it on a different course. French judges, in a blind tasting, judged two California wines superior to their French counterparts. Attitudes toward wine began to shift and adventurous people in various parts of the United States began to feel empowered to explore wine-making conditions in their own regions. As part of this cultural movement, Gretchen Glasscock, returning from the East with a degree from Columbia University and a penchant for research, upended a Texas A&M Study asserting that all Texas was a hot and humid climate suitable for growing only jug wines. She identified the region around Blue Mountain in Fort Davis as cool and crisp, like Napa or parts of France. Before planting her vineyard, Glasscock brought in renowned viticultural and enology experts to guide her in developing this new Texas agribusiness. Subsequent Judgement of Paris moments have now taken place putting premiumTexas wines at the center of a new, more diverse wine universe. This book provides new details recorded by a Texas wine pioneer, advocate, activist and entrepreneur who lived it. Her seminal research and hard fought wine legislation laid the foundation, enabling the development of a multibillion-dollar Texas wine industry.This is a tale of epic battles and larger-than-life personalities, including iconic global winemakers, titans of the wine industry, newcomers who wanted to create this groundbreaking industry and Texas legislators who either caved or fiercely fought the well-financed liquor lobby that had one goal: to kill change.It explores the future of the Texas wine industry, particularly in this present moment of a pandemic that has forced wine-tasting rooms and wine festivals to shut down. Glasscock's solution is to establish an online wine sales platform for all Texas wineries to be able to market their wine online and deliver it to a wine lover's door, in a way that will create a new prosperity for the Texas wine industry.
