About The Wine Appreciation Guild

The Wine Appreciation Guild is commited to promoting wine education, and the appreciation of wine and it's healthful benefits. As the knowledge of wine is spread, the core group of wine drinkers increases. It is this continuing commitment that assures the growth of the industry.

The Wine Appreciation Guild is now in its 27th year as America's premier provider of wine education, wine accessories and wine storage. When we began in 1973. there were only a handful of premium California wineries. Many big name wineries of taday were in the planning stages, or had barely been established. At that time, the California Wine Advisory Board, operating under the State Department of Agriculture, was the primary provider of wine items and literature to aid in the enjoyment of wine. However, a decree by the Governer of California in 1973 dissolved the Wine Advisory Board.

The Wine Appreciation Guild was formed as the official successor in the distribution of wine accessories, and the publication and distribution of books and educational materials. This carries on a tradition of service that started in 1939. As the oldest company and the most trusted business in this sphere of the wine industry, we hope you will continue to count on us for the finest wine accessories and educational products, with the best pricing and service. Please feel free to contact one of the following employees by email or by calling 1-800-231-9463

AMPELOGRAFIA Book set
20 March, 2012


Ampelography is the science of identifying, naming and classifying grape varieties through detailed analysis of the unique characteristics of the plant, its morphology and the different phases of its development.

At the same time, the vine has its own extraordinary aesthetic and iconographic appeal. The exceptional convergence of the Authors’ scientific contributions and the dazzling splendour of the chromolithographs is thus what makes the three volumes of this Illustrated Historical Universal Ampelography so unique.

This is the first time that a single work has united the most beautiful collections of ampelographic plates: the Ampelographie - Traité général de viticulture by Pierre Viala and Victor Vermorel (1901-10), Giorgio Gallesio’s Pomona Italiana (published between 1817 and 1839) and Ampelografia Italiana, published in 1882 by the Ampelographic Committee of the Ministry of Agriculture. The work illustrates 551 cultivars, complete with entries describing each one and listing its synony

VIEW FROM THE VINEYARD By Clifford P. Ohmart
16 February, 2012


Author and entomologist Clifford P. Ohmart brings reason and clarity to the politically loaded and amorphously defined popular world of sustainable viticulture with this unique and comprehensive examination of the subject.

"View from the Vineyard" does much more than explain what sustainable means. It also provides the farmer with a realistic and achievable path to a sustainable vineyard by describing:

• The challenges of practicing sustainable winegrowing

• Where does Integrated Pest Management fit in?

• How are organic and sustainable farming related?

• A holistic vision for the farm

• How to identify and define your farm’s resources

… and more!

The book concludes with a self-assessment guide in which growers can easily track their progress through these transitional periods. For more information, contact The Wine Appreciate Guild at 650-866-3020 x22 or bryan@wineappreciation.com

A MUST READ BOOK----WINE FULTS CAUSES, EFFECTS, CURES
08 March, 2011


 

A precise and comprehensive description of the
problems encountered at times by all winemakers
and wine judges, Wine Faults covers the differences
between flaws and faults, how flavors
develop, how taste works and how it differs from
smell in the evaluation of wine. From there it
tackles the increasing problems resulting from
high alcohol wines as well as volatile acidity
found in high pH wines common in some warm
grape-growing regions. It also deals with the
vegetal qualities of cool viticultural regions
usually caused by methoxypyrazines and the occasional
lady beetle. Every microbial infection
found in today's wineries is fully described and arrayed in full color slides.
Dense as the material may seem, the book is written in a manner that the
layperson, or even the quality control professional who forgot that he ever took
Organic Chemistry, can understand.
Paperback, 8-1/2 x 11 inches, 96 pp., full-color illustrations, fully indexed.

THE STORY:  A few weeks ago our MODULARACK partner, Big Barry phoned from Australia and said “Hey, I got  a chance to buy a load of Plantation Grown Pine that is recycled wood, we can cut the price on some MODULARACKS by more than half”.  I said:  “Sounds great, everyone is looking for “Green Products.”   He said:  “I must warn you the wood is quite Naughty, he meant to say Knotty, but with his Australian accent, is sounded like Naughty.”
