The second edition is a huge step forward. There has been a tremendous amount of progress since the first edition (2002) in wine grape growing in the colder regions of the United States and into Canada. Tasting Minnesota wines I've seen real progress even in the last couple of years. There really can be good wines, not just novelty wines, produced in the colder climates of the upper Midwest, New England, and into Ontario Province.
The winemaking has also changed and improved, though not as dramatically as the viticulture. There's some information of yeasts and methods particular to colder climates.
Overall an excellent book, with a major (2009) update. Recommended for anyone interested in wines from colder climates than the Yakima Valley.Get more detail about Northern Wineworks: Growing Grapes and Making Wine in Cold Climates [2nd Edition].
