This book isn't compatible with Kindle e-readers.I opened it in the Kindle for PC app, and it was just a blur - I had to maximize the window on my large monitor to read it, and even then, it wasn't that clear. There is no way to adjust the font or columns.
Living in Rochester NY, the Finger Lakes, Lake Ontario and Lake Erie wine country is in our backyard. Even for that matter Canada being close by with the Ontario region. As we are wine enthusiasts we also know a small amount about the 4 big wine areas in the US: California, Washington, Oregon and NY. So I happily opted to get this book.I figured my familiarity with wine country in the 3 of the NY state areas (there is downstate, but I’ve never been there) as well as some of the Ontario region of Canada would help me rate how successfully this book covered these areas and maybe extrapolate, how the rest of the book might be.However looking at the structure of the book, I’m stumped at some of the choices. The book is called Wine trails United States & Canada. But, when you look at the chapters; Canada is first. That struck me as odd. The states then follow in alphabetical order.When, you look at the number of wineries and gallons per Google by state, you get:State--------------------------------------# wineries---------------gallonsCalifornia-------------------------------3782----------------------783,047,749*Washington-----------------------------681-----------------------34,712,644*Oregon-----------------------------------599-----------------------7,964,417*New York--------------------------------320-----------------------28,900,557*Virginia-----------------------------------248-----------------------4,315,420Texas-------------------------------------204-----------------------1,026,425Pennsylvania---------------------------182-----------------------10,278,722*Ohio---------------------------------------143-----------------------3,582,902Michigan---------------------------------137-----------------------2,334,026Clearly California tops the list and justifies it’s 91 pages volume and winery-wise.. Washington (11 pages) & Oregon (17 pages) have the next most wineries, though production in NY state is higher than Oregon. New York (17 pages) and Virginia (11 pages) have a similar number of wineries. Pennsylvania (5 pages) though it has less wineries than Oregon, Virginia or Texas outstrips them production-wise. I’ve come to the conclusion that a formula was based on the number of separate wine regions, then further that determined the number of wineries that were covered with a single page of where to stay, where to eat, what to do.. This really serves no one well. Clearly an agricultural area will have less to do than a city and less places to stay and eat.My comments below too in how they broke up the Finger Lakes makes no sense to someone who is looking at the area, what did they do to the other areas, that I know nothing about.Another thing that frustrated me in this book, is that from the table of contents the page numbers are off. Walla Walla Washington is listed on page 238, but is in fact on page 241. As this is not an Advanced Readers Addition, I would expect better accuracy.Well here goes.3 REGIONS IN NY STATE PER THIS BOOKThis book has New York broken up into 3 regions. Finger Lakes East, Finger Lakes West and Long Island. As I don’t know down state, I can’t comment on that area. However, I know the Finger Lakes well. Very well. I also know Lake Ontario & Lake Erie wine regions are not mentioned, but they are newer so I get that.DOES NOT FOLLOW THE LOCAL CATEGORIZATION OF WINERIESRight off the bat, there are really 3 of the Finger Lakes that have wineries clustered around them. If you follow any of the Finger Lakes info, they identify themselves as being either Keuka, Seneca or Cayuga Lakes wineries. This book strangely covers the wineries on the East all 3 lakes under Finger Lakes East and West of these 3 lakes under Finger Lakes West. Why don’t they use the local categories is beyond me.GETTING THEREI was stunned when under the getting there blurb in the Finger Lakes West section, that they mention JFK and Toronto as the nearest major airports. While Rochester NY is not a “major†airport it by far is closer to the Finger Lakes area than those two. Toronto is a full 2 hours north of Rochester and to get to the Finger Lakes from Toronto, you would go through Rochester. JFK airport to Ithaca is 244 miles. Rochester to Ithaca is 90 miles. You do the math.WINERIES SELECTED FOR MENTION & OTHER INFOWhile I know all but 2 of the wineries mentioned, I felt it was an odd selection for some at least most of the major famous ones. But other major ones are lacking. . Also the places to eat and stay, were a mixed bag. Not bad, but some odd choices. Tossing in Skaneateles Lake was an odd choice as there are many things on the main wine trail not even covered.I also find it a major gap that for the Watkins Glen area, they have no mention of the Watkins Glen International Speedway and the car race that goes on there. While the person that might want to do a wine tour and one who goes for a car race may or may not be the same, info as to when the town is filled with Race fans or at least knowing of this might be helpful.You might be better to look into Trip Advisor for recommendations of places to stay and eat and for that matter wineries to visit, before you plan your trip. We have stayed at B&Bs and ate in many of the restaurants. I don’t see this book as being a major guide in any fashion for this area. You can also google finger lakes wine country and find their helpful site. Of course you will find only the the wineries that pay to be on this list, but it’s completeness would be 10X what I’m finding in the book.ONTARIO WINE REGION IN CANADAWhile we only went here once, traveling from a Niagara Falls hotel overlooking the falls, none of these wineries look familiar. But, that could have changed since it has been awhile. It has been my experience going to these wineries, that fine Rieslings are equally popular here as they are in the Finger Lakes. They emphasized Chardonnays and Pinot Noir.OVERALL:This book is a best a very rough guide for planning a trip. At best it will give you an idea of an area. It has some nice pictures and some maps to give you a sense of what is around, but from the areas in the Finger Lakes it covers, that info has major gaps and inaccuracies.
This book is a good starting point to learn more about the different wine-producing regions in the U.S. and Canada. It covers the commonly known areas, such as Northern California/Napa, but also touches on areas that may not be as well known - for example, I did not realize that Arizona had a wine region. The entries for the vineyards themselves generally contain some brief information about the wines offered, other items (such as food) offered, and the background of the vineyard and owner(s). Additionally, for each region, there is a page suggesting some places to stay and eat, as well as other places to visit in the area. The pictures of the area are helpful, and although not on high-quality paper, do entice the reader to visit the regions.Out of the regions featured in the book, I am most familiar with Northern Virginia, so I studied this area the most. While a book like this can't be expected to cover every vineyard in the area, I was somewhat surprised at the selection chosen from Northern Virginia. There were definitely some very popular, very good vineyards that were not included. I also didn't think enough vital information was included - for example, one of the vineyards featured specializes in white wine, which is rarer there than reds, but you probably wouldn't know it from the description. Another vineyard describes Middleburg, VA as a town that has "lost some luster" since the days of Jackie O. and John Kennedy, which almost made me laugh out loud, as Middleburg is a very popular destination for locals and tourists alike, and the surrounding area contains some of the best horse farms in the U.S.All in all, I would use this book as a jumping off point to start researching wine areas - but I would definitely follow up with a lot of internet research and a more comprehensive guide to the individual region.
