This is a gorgeous book! I was thrilled to find it. Thank you!I thumbed through this in a bookstore and noticed it's quite outdated in places here and there. Nice overview, but I'd wait for an updated version to appear. A decade in the wine business is a long time. A few of these places aren't even in business anymore, and many others that have appeared since aren't included.This is an excellent overview of the heart of California wine country, Napa Valley & Sonoma. Loaded with lush photography and insight into the tradition of winemaking, the author takes another leap and provides you with fine dining and lodging selections in the areas as well. I especially liked the pictures of all of the labels and listings at the end of the book of all of the wineries from this area. This allows you to date and check off when you sampled that particular bottle as well as motivate the pursuit to sample all that these wineries have to offer. If you are planning a vacation to Napa or Sonoma, this is a must have.
