[MR] searching for wine and jewelry references

[Tracey Duncan]

I have an amazing book I found called "Wines of the World" edited by Andre L. Simon.  It covers France, North Africa, Italy, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Australia and New Zealand, South Africa, the Americas, and Other Vinelands of the West.  Each chapter has a short history of wine-making in each geographical region.  Would that help?

Subject: [MR] searching for wine and jewelry references

I'm searching for two good references on very different subjects.

I looking for a good book or maybe web page about the history of wine in Europe that goes into a lot of detail about when each chateau's (etc.) winery started and what they started etc.  I'm not interested in how they made wine.  I'm more interested in who was making wine back then and what types.  I see a lot of web pages that claim to have histories but when you dig into them a little you find they don't have much at all.

I'm also searching for a good book that describes and has a bunch of pics of SCA relevant jewelry.  It can also have later periods as well however the preference is information about pre 1600 European (English, French especially) jewelry.  Have you seen a good "picture book" with a large variety from a museum somewhere - perhaps the VA museum?

Surprised that I'm having a little trouble finding either but I have worked a lot of 65 hour weeks in the past 3 months so I'm wondering if my surfing skills are too vba-centric and I'm getting rusty on my history surfing skills! <grin>





Database is supposed to go gold next week.... YAY!!!!
