New Mexico Wine: An Enchanting History (American Palate) by Donna Birchell

New Mexico Wine: An Enchanting History (American Palate) by Donna Birchell

Every vine has a story, and nearly four hundred years ago, New Mexico's wine journey began when the first Mission grapes were planted in 1629. Taste this rich legacy, the oldest in the United States, in Donna Blake Birchell's account of the turmoil and triumph that shaped today's burgeoning industry. Despite greedy Spanish monarchs, prim teetotalers and the one-hundred-year flood's gift of root rot and alkaline deposits, New Mexico winemakers continue to harvest the fruits of sun-soaked volcanic soils and clear skies, blending their family stories with the vines and traditions of the Old World. Raise a toast and join Birchell on the trail of New Mexico's enchanted wines as she explores the heritage of more than fifty wineries in four distinct wine-growing regions.

DONNA BLAKE BIRCHELL, a New Mexico native, has traveled widely around her home state and aspires to share her passion for the Land of Enchantment with others. Birchell has committed this chapter of her life to preserving the history and stories of this great state, as well as revealing New Mexico's hidden jewels along the way, as the author of nine historical books about New Mexico and Texas. Her ambition is that via her writing and photography, she would be able to portray the true beauty of the state.
