Loads of information. He's also very good at answering ["questions" WineMakingQuestion]. ["The Southampton Wine Making Pages" http://www.thewinepages.org.uk] %%% A more irreverent look at winemaking. Reminding us all that we sometimes take ourselves way too seriously. ["The Joy of Home Winemaking" http://www.joyofwine.net] %%% A happy medium between the above two links. I haven't read her book yet, but it's only a matter of time. ["The Better-Bottle Company" http://www.better-bottle.com] %%% One of the few complete systems designed for winemaking. See my observations ["here" WineMakingBetterBottle]. Because of the controversy over winemaking equipment, I'm seriously thinking of conducting an experiment of running the same batch of wine through several modern options and comparing the end results. One of the few complete systems designed for winemaking.
