Grape Grower's Handbook by Ted Goldammer

Spring is here and there is no excuse for not going out into the vineyard to begin pruning. There are still some odds and ends that my husband is taking care of so, I picked up this recent acquisition of ours to see what kind of information it contains.
So far, in perusing half of the book, I would say that it is a very good post-introductory handbook. Here is a link to Amazon:

You can look at the table of contents. I like the layout of the book and the illustrations that add to the topics contained in the book. After each chapter is a list of references for further research. There is a very good chapter on irrigation and good coverage and photos of grapevine diseases and pests. The Appendix also contains some valuable information including commonly used rootstocks, fungicides and pesticides registered for use in the vineyard, commonly found weeds in the vineyard and much more.
