For more than 150 years; Finger Lakes Wine Country has played a major role in American wine history. At its heart are the four deepest Finger Lakes; part of a group of 11 long; narrow lakes in central New York. There; nestled among Canandaigua; Keuka; Seneca; and Cayuga Lakes; farmers began planting vineyards in the 1830s. In 1860; the Pleasant Valley Wine Company became Americas first bonded winery; turning Keuka Lake into a busy shipping hub for fresh grapes and award-winning champagnes. Other wineries soon followed; as did railroads and basket factories. Early 20th century business was good until Prohibition forced wineries to reinvent themselves. In the 1950s and 1960s; innovators like Charles Fournier; Dr. Konstantin Frank; and Walter S. Taylor experimented with hybrid and European vinifera grape varieties. But by the 1970s; local grape growers faced extinction; it would take a grassroots movement and landmark legislation in 1976 to bring about a Finger Lakes wine renaissance.

I knew the content would be good; but the art reproduction itself within it is also terrific -- something that is not always easy when translating art to printed pieces. Moreover; the interesting and engaging way the information is both articulated and laid out graphically makes this a very captivating read. Whether you want to learn how to draw or just want to see what separates truly extraordinary talent from all the rest; this book is a must-have.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful.
