Review :
"Pellechia, an independent journalist and writer, creates a narrative worthy of a prime time drama ... An appealing book for anyone interested in the wine industry." - CHOICE "The book is well documented ... but also very personal ... the many in-depth interviews that form the core of the book give us a glimpse into the personal stories [that] parallel the corporate history." - Wine Economist "Thomas Pellechia undertook obvious meticulous research to write Over a Barrel." - San Francisco Book Review "This is a well researched, well written and revealing book ... Highly recommended." - Winesworld Magazine "This is a fascinating book for those of us who grew up with a jug of Lake Country Red sitting in the pantry and were accustomed to using the same wine to season the marinara sauce and to pour into glasses to go with a meat entree." - Ithaca Times "Over a Barrel offers various cautionary lessons that can be applied to all too many businesses. The Taylor paterfamilias began making wine from grapes in the Finger Lakes region, and his three sons improved it. But when the world of wine consumption changed, the Taylors didn't, and they eventually sold out. Subsequent corporate owners gradually destroyed the wine and the farmers who grew the grapes. Only the black sheep grandson stayed true to the family code, ranting from his perch on Bully Hill." - Mark Pendergrast, author of For God, Country, and Coca-Cola: The Definitive History of the Great American Soft Drink and the Company That Makes It, Third Edition, Revised and Expanded
