Great information, well written.
This is a great book full of information with some of Jack's recipes. I wish it would have included if he won 1st place or BOS for each recipe where applicable.

A great place to start learning about making wine.
A clearly written book by someone who remembers how it felt to be new at a hobby. The first pages set the tone for the whole book...you can make wine (ferment) almost anything to make wine. I learned about Jack Keller from his wine web pages years ago. It was my go to when I needed to understand something about wine making. Now that Jack is no longer with us, I am so glad this book came out with his wisdom and common sense approach for making wine. I highly recommended this book to all my fellow wine makers older and younger. It is so clear to read and it doesn't 'talk down' to you. It is a book I would recommend to all winemaker of any experience - newbie or old-hand. The book gave me information that filled in those empty corners of my current knowledge.

Great book for beginners!
Great book for beginners! And written with such a personable touch as if he was in your kitchen with you!! I love Jack’s stories which usually tell you how he discovered some technique or other that might help you to avoid some mistakes or perfect that next batch of wine. Very detailed but sometimes you need details. Overall, delightful to read!

Get this book!
Followed Jack's blog and made numerous recipes he posted. Wine making was a passion in his life, and the book adds his personal touch to his recipes. Get the book, you will not be disappointed. RIP Jack, and THANK YOU for taking wine making to a whole new level. You, sir, are sorely missed in our wine making community!

An interesting approach if a little random.
Seems a decent enough book and I love the anecdotes. Note that the author refers to US gallons throughout, which are 20% less than those that we used in UK, Astralia NZ etc.
