GIFT : Ben's Adventures in Wine Making (paperback)

Got a new book on booze!!! Cool, a lovely gift from my good lady Jane. I had not heard of this one and it wasn't even on my Amazon Wish List.


Book Description

10 Oct 2011
Ben s Adventures in Wine Making is a home brewing book with a difference. It is a tale of one man s attempts to create delicious and interesting wine from unlikely ingredients. Ben Hardy takes us on a journey, in diary form, from picking his raw materials to drinking the final product. From the superb blackberry to the undrinkable potato wine, and thirty-one flavours between, Ben both amuses and informs in his efforts to produce the nectar of the gods. He is refreshingly honest about what does and does not work, and carefully records the triumphs, the disasters, and his long-suffering friends and family s reactions


I have only read the first few chapters, and it's very good. It is written a little like a diary, with how each wine is made along with tasting notes on each wine, even if the results where bad. The Amazon description above seems to cover the content of the book, so I won't go into it to deep. But I would happily recommend it.
