The book I most enjoyed reading this year was Postmodern Winemaking: Rethinking the Modern Science of an Ancient Craft, $35, by Clark Smith, a winemaker for Diamond Ridge Vineyards and his WineSmith Cellars.
Smith consults with hundreds of winemakers, is an adjunct professor at Fresno State University and lectures widely on wine chemistry fundamentals. The book covers a wide range of hot-button winemaking topics and the many choices available to the post-modern winemaker in pursuit of making what few do: complex wines. It's a must read for winemakers, budding sommeliers and for those interested in coming to grips with the science of wine.
Rated: The Very Curious Oenophile
