I have to be quite futuristic and map things that people haven't even heard of because I know that in the next ten years they will. The Pocket Encyclopedia, on the other hand is a sort of rolling update, I mean it's more like a databank, really rather than an individual book. So I've done it nineteen times and it's a perpetual process of updating. Oh sure, yes. I think that over the last ten to fifteen years some really good wine areas on the east coast have become clearly established.
Long Island is probably the most significant identifiable area.
And nobody is surprised anymore when they come across a very nice chardonnay from that area. I recently enjoyed a beautiful cabernet from Hargrave in Norfolk. Really excellent wine, except, for my own taste, it had that fault of so many American wines. It was trying too hard, in the sense that the expensive French oak was overlaying the natural fruit, which I think is a pity. That's an aside.
