"The Art of COOL-CLIMATE Vinegrowing" and "The Art of COOL-CLIMATE Winemaking" These highly comprehensive videos (2 sets of 2 videos each) are Gillian Pearkes' final publishing venture. Some 5 hours of detailed information distil decades of invaluable experience and hard-won expertise in this challenging area of viticulture and viniculture. Gillian's classic book "Vinegrowing in Britain" sold tens of thousands of copies. Her obituary in The Times identified her as "a leading figure in the resurgence of viticulture in Britain and an international authority in the cultivation of outdoor grapes". Produced and directed by Michael Barry (Perceptive Creation, Quantock Vineyards & Orchards), with technical production by Brian Bateman (Swift Television), these videos uniquely fill a significant gap in the training resources available to students of wine and wine-makers working in cool climates anywhere in the world.
