Back Cover Blurbs

“Ulrike Bender has done wine lovers a great service by documenting in the vivid quotes of winemakers and a collection of spectacular images, the life of Prince Edward County’s vineyards in four seasons. This book is a celebration of the women and men who toil to make wine under daunting conditions. In these pages, you’ll find all the jubilations and tribulations of growing wine in a marginal climate. Take this book with you when you visit the County for the first time; and if you know the region well, there are still things to be learned from Ms. Bender’s lucid prose.”

—Tony Aspler, author of The Wine Atlas of Canada

“Bender paints an intimate portrait of a Prince Edward County winegrower’s harrowing and rewarding year. In clear words and realist images, and with an insider’s voice, she captures the chaotic reality and artistic beauty, the trials and triumphs of crafting wine in this singular region. The book draws you there.”
