A Guide to Winemaking in Early Americarivateer Media's latest book "A Guide to Winemaking in Early America" is a comprehensive look at the techniques that dominated the world of winemaking in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Authors Don Becker and Damian Siekonic have over forty years of winemaking experience between them, and this book details their efforts to define the methods, ingredients, processes and flavor profiles of a lost generation of great wines. Written for the hobbyist and professional winemaker alike, this large format paperback book is packed with over 65 color illustrations and technical tables in 100 pages of text.

The authors chose five documented wine recipes common to Colonial America and made the wines using both the historical and the modern scientific methods. They then enlisted the assistance of qualified wine judges to determine the differences and nuances between the two. The results provide an amazing insight into how wines tasted over two hundred years ago.

  • Notes on 18th Century Winemaking
  • The Winemaking "Starter Kit"
  • 18th Century Hydrometers
  • 18th Century Spirit Beads
  • Balancing Wine
