The American Vine-Dresser's Guide, by Jean Jacques (John James)
Dufour is a treatise on growing grapes in America, specifically the
eastern half of the country. This early work, first published in
1826, is an amazingly thorough text on grape growing and wine
making. Dufour's keen sense of observation gave him an
understanding of grape growing comparable to many "experts" of
today, without the benefit of the modern sciences of biology, plant
physiology, plant pathology, soil fertility, and so on. Despite the
fact that the book was written nearly 200 years ago, many of the
practices recommended are still applicable in the modern vineyard.
Dufour's detailed recommendations on vineyard management make the
reader realize that very little has changed in grape growing
technology over the past 200 years. Many topics are covered in
detail that would be appropriate for today's growers along with
text notes and 16 pages of color photos.
