A Vineyard Odyssey is a fascinating saga of wine-the journey from
vine to bottle-that takes the reader on a travelogue of the many
hazards that lie along the way. John Kiger tracks the nefarious
denizens of the vineyard world: the host of insects, fungi,
bacteria, and viruses, along with the feathered and furry critters,
that lurk in vineyards. All are capable of sabotaging a promising
vintage right under the nose of an unsuspecting grower. Rather than
responding with toxic chemicals, Kiger follows an organic approach
to cultivation, explaining how natural and biological controls can
conquer or at least contain these vineyard saboteurs. Highlighting
the many hazards of nature that lie hidden in any vintage, the
author tells the story of a winegrower and an organic philosophy
that guides the annual struggle to coax great wine from a steep
hillside and a few thousand vines. Combining history, science,
technology, and personal experience, this book vividly brings to
life the hard-fought battles behind the wines we savor.
