The World of Niagara Wine by Michael Ripmeester,Phillip Gordon Mackintosh,Christopher Fullerton Pdf
The World of Niagara Wine is a transdisciplinary exploration of the Niagara wine industry. In the first section, contributors explore the history and regulation of wine production as well as its contemporary economic significance. The second section focuses on the entrepreneurship behind and the promotion and marketing of Niagara wines. The third introduces readers to the science of grape growing, wine tasting, and wine production, and the final section examines the social and cultural ramifications of Niagara’s increasing reliance on grapes and wine as an economic motor for the region. The original research in this book celebrates and critiques the local wine industry and situates it in a complex web of Old World traditions and New World reliance on technology, science, and taste as well as global processes and local sociocultural reactions. Preface by Konrad Ejbich.
As recently as the 1970s, the term "fine Ontario wine" was an oxymoron, and a bottle of Ontario wine at a wine-tasting produced skeptically raised eyebrows. The Ontario wine industry in the Niagara region began to experiment as early as the 1920s with French varietals and hybrids -- only to have its efforts frustrated by Prohibition, government restrictions, the Depression,and a World War. And yet today the wines of Ontario are among some of the finest in the world. What did it take to change the practices of a century and transform an archaic industry into a modern one in just thirty years? Who were the leaders of this revolution? What were the challenges? And what might the future hold for this vibrant community? In Niagara's Vine Visionaries, Linda Bramble tells the dramatic story of people who carried out this transformation of the Niagara industry. Here are the pioneers, the visionaries, the scientists, the entrepreneurs, and the all-round "characters" who pushed, cajoled, and dragged Niagara into its proud place in the world of international wine-making.

The Story of Hillebrand Estates Winery by Peter G. Mielzynski-Zychlinski Pdf
From one of the founders of Hillebrand Estates, comes a fascinating account of the development and establishment of this award-winning Niagara winery. The story of how Hillebrand Estates Winery became one of the top producers of world-class wines in Canada is truly amazing. When it was founded in 1982, only four other estate wineries existed in the Niagara region; now there are over forty. Clearly, Hillebrand Estates is one of the pioneers in the art of winemaking in this country. From the beginning, Hillebrand's goal was to develop high-quality Ontario wines that would rival the European imports appearing on store shelves. Hillebrand's innovation and expertise has ensured that it is one of the leading producers of top quality wine in the Niagara region. The winery was the first to develop contracts for Niagara growers, guaranteeing ten years of crop purchases. Hillebrand was also the first Canadian winery to bring Icewine to market. They have won many prestigious national and international awards for their wines, and their wine-tasting tours and European-style wine market stores have been instrumental in developing a market for Canadian wines. A wonderful introduction to the art of winemaking in Canada, The Story of Hillebrand Estates Winery is recommended reading for all wine lovers.

A tour guide to the wine region of Ontario's Niagara, with descriptions of over 50 wineries, an introduction to the region's soil, industry and climate, events to see and more.
Wine has been described as a window into places, cultures and times. Geographers have studied wine since the time of the early Greeks and Romans, when viticulturalists realized that the same grape grown in different geographic regions produced wine with differing olfactory and taste characteristics. This book, based on research presented to the Wine Specialty Group of the Association of American Geographers, shows just how far the relationship has come since the time of Bacchus and Dionysus. Geographers have technical input into the wine industry, with exciting new research tackling subjects such as the impact of climate change on grape production, to the use of remote sensing and Geographical Information Systems for improving the quality of crops. This book explores the interdisciplinary connections and science behind world viticulture. Chapters cover a wide range of topics from the way in which landforms and soil affect wine production, to the climatic aberration of the Niagara wine industry, to the social and structural challenges in reshaping the South African wine industry after the fall of apartheid. The fundamentals are detailed too, with a comparative analysis of Bordeaux and Burgundy, and chapters on the geography of wine and the meaning of the term ‘terroir’.
