"What sets 'The World of Niagara Wine' apart is its voice and its perspective. It is authored by a group of deeply curious academics who have an abiding passion for wine and for all that happens in the Niagara Peninsula. This book is the fruit, so to speak, of their labour of love.... Leafing once again through the manuscript to write these words, I feel as if I'm sitting in on a roundtable discussion with a group of like-minded folks, all talking about wines while sipping some. In fact, I recommend the same for you. Get yourself a glass of something local before curling up with this book to listen in on the conversation."
Konrad Ejbich, from the preface ``An academic paper on the Grande Parade? Hey, it's about time.... It's one article of many contained in a recently published book, The World of Niagara Wine .... Through 18 articles penned by 18 different writers, the book examines the history, business, science and culture of wine in Niagara. While some of the writings delve deeply into wine geekdom, most are accessible to the average slurper, and offer thought-provoking takes on the industry.''
