The art and craft of winemaking has put down roots in Middle
America, where enterprising vintners coax reds and whites from the
prairie earth while their businesses stand at the hub of a new
tradition of community and conviviality. In Local Vino, James R.
Pennell tracks among the hardy vines and heartland terroir of
wineries across Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, and Ohio. Blending history
and observation, Pennell gives us a top-down view of the business
from cuttings and cultivation to sales and marketing. He also
invites entrepreneurs to share stories of their ambitions, hard
work, and strategies. Together, author and subjects trace the hows
and whys of progress toward that noblest of goals: a great vintage
that puts their winery on the map.
