Hi all,
I just joined here for the holiday season for my father, and maybe some tips on a few things. My dad is thinking retirement in the next few years. Only problem is aside from volunteering at church & reading, he doesn't have any hobbies.
Anyway, he's a chemical engineer, 100% Italian & does like wine. My uncle got into wine making a few years back & my dad has shown genuine interest in it. With his chemistry background in mind, I'm interested in a how-to beginners book that does a good job incorporating the science aspect of wine making.
"The Science of Wine: From Vine to Glass" by Jamie Goode has good reviews, but of course my Barnes & Noble didn't have it in stock. I got one shipped to the store, because I want to look through it first to make sure it does a good job of explaining the science, while also being a good first how-to book. But it won't be here for another week.
So basically what I'm asking: Is there a good beginners book that describes the science aspect of everything as well? Or should I just get a good how-to book & add the science aspect in with it?
Any & all suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot for your time. Cheers!
