| A Wine Growers Guide |
 by Phil Wagner
Our late Maryland mentor of viticulture, Phil Wagner, has left us a very user friendly book for the beginning grape grower. It covers vineyard planning, establishment and early-years management. Although it is written for beginners, you will find yourself turning to it frequently as a reference. If you are an aspiring table grape grower, don't be turned off by the title and the fact that Phil made wine straight through Prohibition; the contents of this book are equally applicable to growing table grapes.

| General Viticulture |
 by A J Winkler
Wherever grapevines are cultivated this book will be welcome because it fills a longstanding need for a clear, concise treatment of modern viticulture. During the past fifty years more progress has been made in the science and art of growing grapes for table use and raisin or wine production than in any previous century.
This new edition has been revised throughout. The chapters on vine structure, vine physiology, the grape flowers and berry set, development and composition of grapes and means of improving grape quality add to our knowledge of the vine and its functions. The text is designed to enable those concerned with either vine or fruit problems to arrive at considered diagnoses. The student will find the text and the cited references a comprehensive source of information.
The grape and allied industries should welcome the up-dating of the major portion of the book. Here the emphasis is on modern practices in vineyard management in arid and semi-arid regions – with special reference to California. Full and detailed treatment is provided of propagation, supports, training young vines, pruning, cultivation and chemical weed control, irrigation, soil management, diseases and pests, and harvesting, packing and storage.

| Harvest of Joy |
 by Robert Mondavi
In 1965, after a notorious family feud, Robert Mondavi-then fifty-two years old-was thrown out of his family's winery. Far from defeated, Mondavi was dedicated to a vision of creating a superior wine. What has happened since that fateful day is one of the greatest success stories of American business. Today, the Robert Mondavi Winery is one of the most respected in the world, and Mondavi is the man who is most responsible for the worldwide recognition of American wine making, as well as changing America's palate for fine wine and fine food. In Harvests of Joy, Mondavi shares how, through his passion for excellence, he achieved this extraordinary position, one he reached not without pain and sacrifice. With invaluable insider tips on his approach to both wine making and to running a business, Mondavi's inspirational story is "a grand example of the fact that in America you can pretty much be, do, or accomplish, whatever you set out to."

| Midwest Small Fruit Pest Management |
 Preface
"This small fruit pest management handbook is presented in an ongoing attempt to better serve Midwestern fruit growers. Financial constraints make the production of such publications by each of the states in the North Central region increasingly difficult. As a result of pooling the resources and expertise of the various States, this regional publication presents detailed information that is adaptable over a wide range of climates, soils, and small fruit production schemes.
This handbook contains information on pests, production methods, and pest management practices that should not change on an annual basis. It is intended to remain useful for several years between revisions. Your state's fruit spray guide, which is a publication that lists pesticides for specific crops and specific problems, is published separately and is updated each year.
"To make the best possible decisions about small fruit pest management, this handbook should be used in conjunction with an up-to-date state spray guide and with the newsletters issued by several of the state's Extension Service. Contact your state's Extension fruit specialist for information on newsletters.
This publication does not replace the many publications on fruit cultivars and management practices that are available from your Extension Service.
The authors solicit your suggestions regarding the usefulness of this publication and the ways that it might be improved. Its purpose is to assist you in producing top quality fruit while protecting yourself, the consumer, and the environment."

| Northern Winework |
 Introduction -
The myth that grapes cannot be grown and fine wine cannot be produced beyond the northern reaches of the traditional winemaking world is challenged. Case studies illustrate current successful viticulture and winemaking efforts in the extreme climatic regions of Minnesota, Quebec, Latvia, and Belarus.
Forward -
If we lived in California we would be growing and making wine from Zinfandel and Chardonnay grapes rather than writing a book about new hybrid grape varieties with names like Frontenac, Troubador, and Prairie Star. We don't live in California though. We live in Minnesota where wine grape growing has been considered improbable enough to challenge breeders, growers, and winemakers to develop new varieties and methods to produce better quality wines. Twenty years ago few believed it could be done. Twenty years from now we expect to see it being done regularly. Right now growers in our area are eager to plant wine grapes where they have not been grown before.
