But you have to admire the pioneering spirit of the 85 growers and vintners profiled in this excellent little guide book. A highly unlikely region, though rich in history, producing some very interesting and drinkable wines.
The pioneering spirit extends to the grapes used. Unusual and old world varietals such as Marechal Foch, and new world varietals developed to withstand the harsh climate, such as Frontenac (developed by scientists at the University of Minnesota).
The book contains a wealth of information not only on the profiled vintners, but also the viticulture and viniculture, along with welcome tangents into the regions history, geography, and geology. A useful travel guide for the region and its unlikely wineries.
