This book strikes the tricky balance between being a celebration of a new and exciting wine industry on the East Coast and acting as an accurate snapshot of what is happening on the ground. So many of these kinds of books can come across more as promotional and marketing pieces for the wineries involved than serious discussions of the region and quality of the wine being produced, so I was pleased to find some very knowledgable and in-depth discussion of the local industry, winemaking practices, and grapes being planted. It became a little less enthralling during the sections devoted to NB, PEI and Newfoundland as there was less vigorous treatment of the quality of the wine being produced - likely because the industry is extremely underdeveloped in those provinces.
