Few would associate America’s frontier states with wine. And yet it is here, in 1629, that the country’s first Vitis vinifera vines are said to have been planted. Since the 1970s the wine industries of New Mexico, Texas, Arizona and Colorado have evolved. This book takes each state in turn, focusing on growing conditions, key issues and prominent producers.
