A Tuscan pharmacist near Siena who owns one of Italy’s oldest apothecary shops has been credited with extracting the anti-oxidant benefits of red wine. By using an 18th- century recipe cultivated by one of his ancestors, which he found behind a shelf during renovations, he has created a Sangiovese-based elixir for longevity. So whether you are drinking to or for your health, the beloved Sangiovese grape offers a variety of incentives to wander into your local wine store, dream about or remember Tuscan getaways, and take home that irresistible and promising bottle of Chianti or Brunello di Montalcino – or any other bottle of rosso Sangiovese grapevines in vineyards around or bianco that may have lured you into the castle at Castello Banfi in Montalcino. the store. included a list of some of is balanced and any meal or everyday Castello Banfi Brunello di our favorite wines from structured with smooth drinking.” Montalcino D.O.C.G.

  • Vol11-Issue02 Terroir and Other Myths of Winegrowing
    Book Reviews 319 somebody like me who grew up with dry German Riesling, it was a great pleasure to read, but really, anybody interested in the story of dry Riesling will enjoy reading this book. Christian G.E. Schiller International Monetary Fund (ret.) and Emeritus Professor, University of Mainz, Germany [email protected] doi:10.1017/jwe.2016.24 MARK A. MATTHEWS: Terroir and Other Myths of Winegrowing. University of California Press, Oakland, 2016, 288 pp., ISBN 978-0-520-27695-6 (hardcover), $34.95. I immensely enjoyed reading this book, not so much because its author cites one of my articles, but mainly because he quotes Vladimir Nabokov, one of my favorite writers, who starts his Lolita with words that could apply to a wine when you taste it: “the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap at three on the teeth.” The preface sets the scene: “As I gained experience in the world of viticulture, I found that some of the received archetypes were incongruous with elementary crop science. For example, there is a long-standing argument that one cannot both irrigate vines and produce fine wines (yet rain and irrigation water are the same tograpevines)” (pp. ix–x). It is followed by four chapters debunking four false truths: (a) wine quality is determined by low yield and small berries; (b) vine balance is the key to fine wine grapes; (c) there is a critical ripening period, and vines should be stressed; and (d) terroir matters. I will try to deal fairly with all these issues, but it will come as no sur- prise to those who know me a bit if I spend more time on terroir.

  • Over a Barrel
    ONE ARRIVALS Credit for the first grapevine plantings in the Finger Lakes region goes to the clergyman son of a tavernkeeper, Reverend William W. Bostwick. A descendant of Arthur Bostwick, one of the first seventeen settlers of Stratford, Connecticut, in 1639, William Bostwick arrived in the Finger Lakes in 1829 to establish an Episcopalian congregation and church in a tiny village at the southern end of the Crooked Lake, known for its cursive y shape. Bostwick’s connection to Connecticut is fitting since, in one way or another throughout its early history leading up to independence from Britain, New York was tied to New England, first as an extension of the colonial settlement and then as a welcome discovery by men and women breaking away to start new lives and families. Among the first group of settlers in New England’s Danbury, Connecticut (1684), were Thomas Taylor, Thomas Barnum, and John Hoyt. These three first families of Danbury remained intertwined for generations. On July 5, 1810, Ira Taylor had a new first cousin named Phineas Taylor (P. T.) Barnum. Ira and Phineas were fourth generation descendants of Thomas Taylor and Thomas Barnum respectively. The Barnum family was connected to the Hoyts by marriage. Around the start of the nineteenth century, Ira Taylor left Connecticut to settle on a farm in Tioga County’s Halsey Valley, near Binghamton, New York, where he and his wife Mary raised four children on the farm: Horace, Fred, George, and Sarah. As an adult, George, the third child, operated a successful cooper’s shop in Halsey Valley.
