Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of a Californian official sent to Europe in 1861 to investigate the best ways to grow grapes and make wine. The author, a Hungarian immigrant, travelled through France, Germany, Spain, and Italy, comparing European practices with California's burgeoning wine industry. He noted that California's climate and soil were ideal for growing grapes and that the state possessed a great advantage in its lack of European diseases and weather problems. He also investigated other lucrative agricultural ventures, including the cultivation of raisins, olives, and mulberry trees for silkworm production, which he believed held enormous potential for California's future prosperity. He describes his observations of European winemaking techniques, focusing on Burgundy and Bordeaux, and advocates for the development of a State -run wine agency to protect consumers from adulteration and promote the integrity of California wines. The author's journey and findings offer a fascinating glimpse into the agricultural ambitions of early California, and reveal the immense potential he believed the state held for the future of American winemaking.
