“This is a well written reference book designed for grape geeks. It is also very well illustrated with both color and black & white photos. This is a very detailed but concise book describing the morphology and growth characteristics of the Vitaceae family and Vitis Genus. … Anyone considering themselves a viticulture professional should consider having this book in their library.” (Wine Grower News, Issue 330, March, 2016)
