A Vineyard Odyssey is a fascinating saga of wine-the journey from vine to bottle-that takes the reader on a travelogue of the many hazards that lie along the way. John Kiger tracks the nefarious denizens of the vineyard world: the host of insects, fungi, bacteria, and viruses, along with the feathered and furry critters, that lurk in vineyards. All are capable of sabotaging a promising vintage right under the nose of an unsuspecting grower. Rather than responding with toxic chemicals, Kiger follows an organic approach to cultivation, explaining how natural and biological controls can conquer or at least contain these vineyard saboteurs. Highlighting the many hazards of nature that lie hidden in any vintage, the author tells the story of a winegrower and an organic philosophy that guides the annual struggle to coax great wine from a steep hillside and a few thousand vines. Combining history, science, technology, and personal experience, this book vividly brings to life the hard-fought battles behind the wines we savor.

Free Download John Halsted, "Legends and Stories from Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and Block Island"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1909302902 | EPUB | pages: 202 | 2.2 mb
VINLAND, Claudia and Cabo de la Arenas have been but a few of the previous names given to Cape Cod. As far back as 985AD the Cape had been visited by the likes of Leif Eiriksson, although this is disputed, Giovanni da Verrazzano (1524AD), Estêvão Gomes (1525AD), Samuel de Champlain (1606AD), Bartholomew Gosnold (1602AD), Henry Hudson (1609AD) and Captain John Smith (1614AD). It was Gosnold who had the honor and privilege of being the final arbiter of the Cape’s name in 1602AD. With such a long history it is therefore not surprising that much has been written and said about Cape Cod. Herein readers will find 23 such stories, collected from various sources, with origins in Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, Cape Cod and Block Island. Stories like THE HEADLESS SKELETON OF SWAMPTOWN, THE CROW AND CAT OF HOPKINSHILL, THE OLD STONE MILL, THE WINDAM FROGS, MOODUS NOISES and many more. Appropriately, the book is commenced with a facsimile of THE MAYFLOWER COMPACT and ends with THE STORY OF KING PHILIP, Grand Sachem and Chief of the Wampanoag Tribe. MARTHA’S VINEYARD, called "Noepe" by the Native Americans, which in their picturesque language means "In the Midst of the Sea," is the largest island on the south-eastern coast of Massachusetts. However, there are those who correctly point out that there is no such place as Martha’s Vineyard, except in geography and common speech. That it’s correct name is Martin Wyngaard’s Island, so was named by Skipper Block, an Albany Dutchman. Sea fog is not uncommon in the area. When a fog started rising the Native Americans would say, "Here comes old Maushope’s smoke"-but you will have to read the book to find out just why they say this.
