Sparkling Harvest: The Seasons of the Vine Book

An introduction by famed wine expert Hugh Johnson sets the scene for this tale of American ingenuity. Jamie and Jack Davies, owners of Schramsberg Vineyards, recount how they rescued the abandoned historic site in 1965 and turned it into a thriving modern vineyard, which now specializes in producing a variety of prize-winning sparkling wines served all over the world. Sparkling Harvest is illustrated throughout with splendid color and duotone photographs made specially for this book by James Alinder. A section on dining features recipes and menus for festive dinners - by such world-famous chefs as Julia Child, Larry Forgione, and Jeremiah Tower - that are particularly suited to sparkling wines. And, for both the connoisseur and the neophyte, Sparkling Harvest concludes with an illustrated chronology of sparkling wines.
