Why Water Just Won't Do Book

I started this book when I first moved to the east coast 10 years ago. I got distracted and didn't make much progress. On the 10th year of my arrival I'm glad I finally finished it. After reading the first few chapters in 2010 I sought out Chrysalis Winery. It became a staple of my Virginia winery visits, bringing friends and dates here over the years, and almost getting married here in 2016 (we chose another winery that had more/better bathrooms haha). Now, after finally reading the rest of the book, I'm shocked to find out some absolutely amazing facts I never knew, including about the Norton grape, the owner Jenni who I've had the pleasure of meeting a couple of times, and the history of wine in Virginia. The book, while it starts and ends as a story about Virginia wine, very much becomes a history of wine in all of America. Highly recommend the read, but make sure you pick up a few bottles of Chrysalis Norton (and maybe the amazing 2008 Tannat) to accompany you along the journey.
