The Second Bud
by Martha Ezzard "Owner Tiger Mountain Vineyards"
Deserting the City for a Farm Winery
Buy a bottle of Tiger Wine and receive $5 off your book purchase!
- The story of Tiger Mountain Vineyards is a window into the nascent community of regional and local wineries; Martha and John are helping to craft a high-quality wine industry in America's rural South.
-Doug Frost, master sommelier, master of wine, author, and internationally known wine consultant
- Second Bud is vintage Martha Ezzard: detailed and passionate prose with a splash of humor. She recounts her family's pioneering venture into the world of fine wine from the terroir of a Southern family farm.
-Lea Donosky, former Sunday editor, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
- Martha Ezzard never shied away from difficult subjects as a newspaper columnist, but who'd have expected to find her making award-winning wines from grapes grown on a North Georgia family farm-digging in the dirt in Tiger, Georgia. Her fascinating story is not just about a change in lifestyle but a leap of faith.
-Dick Denny, past chairman, High Museum of Art, founder and chief taster, High Museum Atlanta, wine auction
- At Tiger Mountain Vineyards Martha Ezzard has proven herself to be a talented and tireless promoter, event planner, tour guide, tasting expert, and grape harvester. While I have appreciated her efforts in all these capacities, I do miss the thoughtful editorials she used to write for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. What a pleasure to page through this memoir of her life as a winemaker and read her elegant, incisive, and ever-opinionated prose again.
-John Kessler, award winning food writer and chef
