Well, of course they are, so is the Wine Bible referred to in the
original post. I have that book; I was just answering the question
asked. If you want contemporary winemaking info I would get Lum's
book off the Internet or refer to Ben Rotters site. Recipes galore
can be found at Jack Keller's site and all are free.
