Used Book in Good Condition
There are books available, from those clearly aimed at the professional to those more suited to the amateur/hobbyist
I have the Oz Clarke book. It suits my needs.
The Wine Grapes book by Jancis Robinson, Julia Harding and Jose Vuillamoz is a good place to start. Although I am a bit confused - are you hoping to suggest what the ideal climate/elevation is for each grape? Or what characters a particular variety will exhibit in different terroirs? Or are you hoping to look at appellations?
Wine Grapes by Jancis Robinson I've found to be an extremely valuable tool when practicing my blind tasting, and helping me look for particular markers in different regions.
I can't do fancy links, but have fun. Enjoy having managers put new wines on the menu, and you show up and are just expected to know about them, when they could come from anywhere in the world (and what about a nose and palette for wine, liquor, beer and food, and how to pair them all together) If you don't think what I need to learn is complicated, why should I think what you need to learn is complicated?:
