Start With This One

This is a great book. I started making wine about 5 years ago and this book has all the instruction I needed. Garey takes the mystery out of wine making. I have bought several books since, but find myself returning again and again to this one. Everything you need to know to get started is here and there are enough recipes to keep you going for a long time. If you are a beginning wine maker, this is the book for you.

Best book for those new to making wine!

Terry Garey takes a very casual, fun approach to making wine with various fruits. Her recipes are tried and true. (I won a gold medal with her strawberry wine recipe) The book is easy to read and informative. Best of all, it is easy to understand and follow for the person new to winemaking. Wine purist probably won't care for the book due to the casual and varied approach to making excellent wines from many different sources.

Dandy book for all beginners.

Terry Garey does a good job of inducing the novice they too can make quality wine. The book consists of a brief winemaking history, step by step instructions for the first gallon. Garey thoroughly explains the essential wine making equipment and evaluates different types of tools (e.g. plunger, lever action, and bench corkers). Recipes and ingredients for a variety of wines are given from grapes, canned fruits, concentrates, dried fruits, vegetable, herb, flower, seed and grain wines. The author explicates advanced; techniques, equipment, and wines even fortified and sparkling wines are discussed. Furthermore the author reveals winemaking troubleshooting, just in case your wine goes foul.

For a beginner, this IS the book you want.

I've read more than a dozen books on making wine. I usually start by checking them out from the library then purchasing the books that I will use as a reference. I read this book when I checked it out then I bought it and read it again. I recommended it to another and they bought it as well. I have also given it as a gift. For the beginning wine maker this book is a tremendous benefit. It is easy to read. Terry does a great job explaining the principles from beginning to end. I have used the following recipies: Apple, Concorde Grape, Blueberry, Peach and Strawberry. Without exception, every batch has turned out great. Terry includes a little science but if you want to know more there will always be more out there. If on the other hand you want to make a very good bottle of wine and keep your costs down, this is the book you need. You may not be replicating Chateau Lafitte in your garage but I have yet to have a complaint about my wines when following Terry's examples. Start with this book then add to your library when you want to go further.

Good book for beginners

While the techniques in the book are mainly for the beginner, her recipies will give even advanced winemakers some new things to try.
Not written as a dry text, but full of her amusing experiences making many of the recipies in the book.
A great place to start, but once you get going, you may want to refer to other books that go into additional detail about yeast selection, using yeast starters and champagne production
