Tate Adams AM was an Australian print-maker and engraver. Widely regarded as the 'Godfather' of contemporary Australian printmaking, Tate taught printmaking to many of Australia's greatest print-makers, established print specialist galleries and founded and supported Lyre Bird Press to print high calibre printed works.
Wynns Coonawarra Estate is a famed winery in the township of Coonawarra, South Australia. Coonawarra is region that has a singular story based on a unique cigar-shaped strip of terra rossa soil over limestone. Established as a 'fruit colony' in the 1880s, the region provided grapes for many of the great wines of the early 20th century. After a long period of significant decline, the region became known for quality wine again after David Wynn established Wynns Coonawarra Estate in 1951. Through the second half of the 20th century Coonawarra, and particularly Coonawarra Cabernet, was one of the most sought after wines and wine regions in Australia. Older vintages of Wynns 'Black Label' and 'Red Stripe' hold a special place in Australian wine lovers' cellars and hearts. Over the years David Wynn engaged a number of artists and writers such as Tate Adams and Walter James to record and celebrate the Coonawarra region and Wynns Coonawarra Estate.

A faithful reproduction of a scarce work. Shaw was originally from Scotland and had much to do with lowering the duty on wine imported to England. His writing is informative and humorous. He mentions American wines and in a prophetic remark states, "California seems better adapted for producing wine."
