The Winemaker: George Fistonich and the Villa Maria Story Kerry R Tyack Random House New Zealand, $45 Biography of New Zealand's most awarded wine-industry leader. Over the last 15 years, the New Zealand industry has increasingly globalised as international corporates take a dominant role in our wine production. Villa Maria has always fiercely guarded its independence as New Zealand's largest privately-owned wine company, an independence that can be tracked back to the day in 1961 when a young George Fistonich told his Croatian-immigrant father that he wanted to give up building and take over the family winery. In the 50 years since, he has turned a cottage business making fairly average table and fortified wines, into a widely admired company that produces some of this country's very best wines (for which it has won a multitude of local and international awards), has considerable landholdings, is a major exporter, an energetic sponsor, and has an innovative culture. George Fistonich has won the coveted Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award, was knighted, and in 2011 he was honoured with one of the international wine industry's leading awards. This book traces the arc of his life, from his hard-working Mangere childhood to his self-taught marketing audacity, from having to save his beloved business from receivership to taking big bets on the future. What emerges is the portrait of a determined, savvy and visionary man, whose life in wine tracks the history of the modern New Zealand wine industry. The book features a tribute by celebrated UK wine writer Oz Clarke. The Wild Bunch Jo��lle Thomson New Holland Publishers, $39.99 Wine writer, journalist, author, teacher and wine lover, Jo��lle Thomson shares stories from the vineyards to the wine glass, in her new book The Wild Bunch: Movers, shakers and ground-breakers of the New Zealand wine industry. The 18 ���quietly powerful individuals��� who are also ���philosophers, modernists, scientists, hedonists and party animals��� ��� as she calls them ��� have revolutionised our burgeoning New Zealand industry and with each chapter she tells of their successes mixed with trials. Critically, these ���movers��� and ���shakers��� exhibit the perseverance, ingenuity and sheer dedication required for making the best wine possible. These people have pushed our wine industry forward tremendously over the past century, to a point where New Zealand is recognised as a leading force on the world stage ��� a hugely commendable feat given the youth of our industry. Rather than compiling a line-up of the top wineries in New Zealand, Jo��lle talks to the individuals behind the labels whose stories are worth telling: those who have grown and shaped the styles and tastes of the reds and whites on our tables. The ���wild bunch��� range from those who have built wineries from scratch with little capital and the unsung industry heroes, right through to third generation winemakers who continue to build on the audacious spirit of their grandparents. OUR TOP PICK: The best book to read this month The Power of Us Sir Ray Avery, with Cameron Bennett and Adrian Malloch Random House New Zealand, $49.99 Sir Ray Avery, with Cameron Bennett and Adrian Malloch, has produced a very special book - words of wisdom from great New Zealanders, packaged with stunning photographs and a beautiful, classic design. 'Nobody is as clever as all of us.' This is one of Sir Ray Avery's key philosophies - the importance of teamwork and harnessing the talents of a group. This book is a celebration of 50 New Zealanders who are extraordinary in their own fields, both locally and internationally. Drawn from all fields - science, business, writing, film, sport, art, technology - it includes both the very well-known such as Sam Neill, Rhys Darby, Barbara Kendall, Neil Finn and Susan Devoy, and the lesser known but equally talented. Each person is a high achiever and a risk taker and Cameron Bennett's interviews with them are inspiring, surprising and delightful. The book captures them through truly amazing photographs taken by Adrian Malloch. These images show both their strengths and their weaknesses and speak volumes. With a foreword by Sir Ray Avery, this beautiful hardback is something to cherish and draw strength from. www.h e rmagaz in e .co.n z | 121
