Wines And Vines Of
California, by Frona Eunice Wait. Reprint of 1889 edition. Berkeley, Ca.:
Howell-North, 1973. Illustrations. 215 pages. $8.50. or "Wines & vines
of California;: Or, A treatise on the ethics of wine drinking" at
Amazon.com (Note: Not in personal
collection)
Reviewed by Rodney D. Strong, Chairman of the Board, Sonoma
Vineyards, Windsor, California, whose "wines and vines" are popular
with the book review editor of this Journal.
"California was going through a wine boom in 1889 very
much as we are experiencing now. Wait states again and again that the California
wineries must be more concerned with quality than quantity. This is also true
today. She lists twenty-five thousand acres of grapes in Sonoma County, which is
about seven thousand more than exists today. Possibly there is something to be
learned from all this. She also discusses such grapes as Traminer,
Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in existence in vineyards in 1886. These
grapes had some acceptance then in the California vineyards, but were
unfortunately ignored during the next fifty years despite the recognition they
deserved in the premium wine field. She also lists Tokay and Muscatel grown in
Sonoma and Napa counties. This has proven to be wrong and has been corrected by
practice over the years in the industry so there would seem to be some hope for
us."
