    Good, but not as good I expected
  

*by L***K on Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2014*

It's natural to think of this book as a more regionally detailed version of "The World Atlas of Wine," but that is true only in some respects.  The main advantage of the book is longer descriptions of formerly obscure or minor areas that get only a sentence or two in "TWAoW," for me most notably Colorado and the southwestern states as well as oddities like Hawaii.However, for long-established areas such as the main California AVAs, you won't learn much new about the growing conditions, grapes, and recent trends.  Instead, the higher coverage page count relative to TWAoW is taken up by historical facts, profiles of specific wineries (sometimes whose special significance isn't all that clear), pictures, and a larger font.  I had hoped for more in-depth technical detail.Otherwise, much will be familiar to readers of TWAoW.  The maps are in the same format and the writing has some of the same admirable clarity and insouciance.  One difference is that the introductory chapter is not a comprehensive description of winemaking and the wine experience but rather a shorter and more focused discussion of historical, legal, and winemaking issues specific to the U.S.This is by no means a bad or uninteresting book and it is a useful complement to TWAoW because of its coverage of areas that do not have a worldwide reputation.  But people who already know a fair amount about winemaking in the U.S. should be aware of its limitations.

    A Comprehensive Guide
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2013*

The companion volume to 

  
World Atlas of Wine









  
  
    
  , American Wine focuses solely on the wine-producing regions of the United States, from the often-visited and world-renowned Napa Valley to the smaller AVA's found across America, including those in Michigan and New York.American Wine includes helpful maps, an overview of the grapes grown in the United States, how wineries were founded decades -- if not hundreds of years -- ago, and provides an abundance of information about wine-making techniques within each region. The majority of the book focuses on the California wine regions of Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and the Central Valley, with breakdowns by AVA; this is impressive since Napa Valley has sixteen sub-AVA's, such as Calistoga, Stag's Leap, and the (relatively) new Atlas Peak. Each AVA has a list of notable wineries, a helpful map, and details about the soil, temperature, and wine produced.Despite the obvious attention to detail, this book can still be enjoyed and utilized by the casual wine-lover and tourist for the maps, background information, and suggestions about wineries. It truly shines, though, as an an exceptional book designed for serious wine-lovers and travelers who are looking for a comprehensive guide to American wineries and wine. This is a fantastic work that should be part of any wine library.
