With eighteen recipes for homemade wine from the Colonial era, this beautifully designed and printed two-color book contains the recipes and selections from the journal of Thomas Hoggson, a wine connoisseur of New York. This little hardcover includes recipes for Madeira, Chianti, Blackberry, Peach, and Apple wine, among others, along with a delightful journal from one who truly enjoyed drinking his own stock. A perfect gift for the oenophile or for the fledging or advanced wine maker looking for a sweet and sparkling 1765 vintage book to be poured over.
