About this ebook

New York's Finger Lakes is home to the country's fastest-growing wine region, and each year millions of tourists spill into the tasting rooms of its wineries. Filled with fun and likable characters, Summer in a Glass brings this burgeoning area to life and captures its exciting diversity--from its immigrant German winemakers to its young, technically trained connoisseurs, from classic Rieslings to up-and-coming Cabernet Francs.

    Having lived in the eastern most part of the Finger Lakes for decades, I thought I read all about making wine. Somehow it was magical; you plant the vines and harvest the grapes and they become this delightful elixer. Evan Dawson describes how difficult it is to produce a good bottle of wine and how dedicated the estate owners and winemakers are to their craft. We have so many wineries in the region that it is difficult to visit all of them; this book gave me a list of 'new' ones that I want to see and tastes I want to experience. It also gave me an appreciation of the owners who battle the elements like the other farmers in the region and won't know until the final product if they have a winner.A well written book that will not bog you down in technical speak or botanical terms. I recommend it if you plan to visit, but I also recommend it if you don't. Use it to make you list for the liquor store like I did.

    Dawson adeptly weaves the trials, tribulations, successes and failures of several winemakers and wineries located in the NY Finger Lakes region. Each chapter focuses on a particular person/winery, but many of the stories are interconnected which makes for a better book. Readers may loathe, like, feel empathy or disgust with some events and people, but won't be able to stop reading.
