This is also agreeable to the constant practice of our Cider-makers, who always observe, that the best eating apples, make but poor Cider; whereas the more rough and austere sorts, after being pressed and fermented, afford a strong vineous liquor. And I believe it will be found true in all fruits, that where the natural heat of the sun ripens and prepares their juices, so as to render them palatable, whatever degree of heat these juices have more, either from fermentation, or from any other cause, will render the Vine weaker and less spirituous. Of this we have many instances in fruits; for if we transplant any of our Summer or Autumn fruits, which ripen perfectly in England, without the assistance of art, into a climate a few degrees warmer, these fruits will become mealy and insipid: so, likewise, if we bake or stew any of those fruits, they will be good for little, losing all their spirit and flavour by the additional heat of the fire; and such fruits by no means eatable raw, are hereby rendered exquisite, which, if transplanted into a warmer climate, have, by the additional heat of the sun, been also altered, so as to exceed the most delicious of our fruit in this country. From whence, it is plain, that those Grapes which are most agreeable to the palate for eating. are not proper for wine; in making of which, their juices must undergo a strong fermentation; therefore, since we only propagate the most palatable Grapes for eating, and neglect the other sorts, before we plant Vineyards, we should take care to to be provided with proper sorts." Of which I have five kinds, of each of...

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →A rich romp through untold American history featuring fabulous characters, The Wild Vine is the tale of a little-known American grape that rocked the fine-wine world of the nineteenth century and is poised to do so again today. Author Todd Kliman sets out on an epic quest to unravel the mystery behind Norton, a grape used to make a Missouri wine that claimed a prestigious gold medal at an international exhibition in Vienna in 1873. At a time when the vineyards of France were being ravaged by phylloxera, this grape seemed to promise a bright future for a truly American brand of wine-making, earthy and wild. And then Norton all but vanished. What happened? The narrative begins more than a hundred years before California wines were thought to have put America on the map as a wine-making nation and weaves together the lives of a fascinating cast of renegades. We encounter the suicidal Dr. Daniel Norton, tinkering in his experimental garden in 1820s Richmond, Virginia. Half on purpose and half by chance, he creates a hybrid grape that can withstand the harsh New World climate and produce good, drinkable wine, thus succeeding where so many others had failed so fantastically before, from the Jamestown colonists to Thomas Jefferson himself. Thanks to an influential Long Island, New York, seed catalog, the grape moves west, where it is picked up in Missouri by German immigrants who craft the historic 1873 bottling. Prohibition sees these vineyards burned to the ground by government order, but bootleggers keep the grape alive in hidden backwoods plots. Generations later, retired Air Force pilot Dennis Horton, who grew up playing in the abandoned wine caves of the very winery that produced the 1873 Norton, brings cuttings of the grape back home to Virginia. Here, dot-com-millionaire-turned-vintner Jenni McCloud, on an improbable journey of her own, becomes Norton’s ultimate champion, deciding, against all odds, to stake her entire reputation on the outsider grape. Brilliant and provocative, The Wild Vine shares with readers a great American secret, resuscitating the Norton grape and its elusive, inky drink and forever changing the way we look at wine, America, and long-cherished notions of identity and reinvention.

Excerpt: ... ciesof the Sweetwater, or. the same sort we used to cultivate in Swisserland, about thirty 5'ears ago, --an early kind, but of small increase; while on the opposite, or left shore of the river, they had a species called the Gouet or Gowet, very prolific, but, indifferent for wine. They told me, that the Hollanders used to buy the grapes of those vineyards and carry them to Holland, for which they often paid a French crown per gallon; while, on the left side, the wine sells for a few cents only--and, for fear, some of that cheap sort should be mixed, they keep as many Clerks, as they have carriers of the grapes, from the vineyard to the press, to have them overseen all the time. I had drank some of that wine at Rotterdam; and as 1 found it not answering its renown, I took a small bottle in my bag, of some I made in Swisserland; when I came to Maestrickt, and at Mentz, I called for a bottle of Old Hock, for which I had to pay one French crown, and compared it with my own, which was found to be nearly of the same quality, but much better and stronger, although only 10 months old, and carried three hundred miles in the hottest of the summer, in a pint bottle. If the navigation of the Rhine was as free as that of the Mississippi, the Swiss, could furnish Holland with the best of of Old Hock, for about the fifth of the price, but the Powers who rule along the Rhine, keep that market for their own subjects; there are vines along the Rhine as far north as the Boon. About Paris, and a part of Burgundy, the vines are kept much like those on the Rhine, which is also the way along the Lake of Geneva, except, that many of them are not in rows, but all over as if sown broad cast, about one plant on each square yard; it is chiefly, red wine which they.
