"In a world marked by a growing consciousness about our modern agricultural mess, Oregon winemakers are leading the way in the ecological responsible use of land, not just for viticulture but farming as a whole. This book highlights these winemakers’ work and methods and gives them their much-deserved recognition. Clive Michelsen, renowned educator and author of the bestselling Tasting and Grading Wine, takes the reader from Henry Wine Estates in the Umpqua Valley in the south to Beaux Fréres in northern Willamette. He not only gives the details of each winery’s approach to “green” winemaking, he includes vital information for the gourmet eco-tourist—types of wine produced, the authors best picks, address, contact information and tasting room hours. The book also covers the predominant varieties used in Oregon winemaking, the states AVAs, and a complete winery directory. Lavishly photographed and written in Michelsen’s engaging style, this book is for wine lovers who like the idea of drinking fine wine while softening their eco-footprints."
