Hidden Wine Countryby Marty OlmsteadReviewed by Dave Shultz
The best way to find the vineyards and wineries is Hidden Wine Country, published by Ulysses Press. This tour book details over 59 wineries in 6 different wine country regions and includes information on 77 country inns, resorts and ranches and 800 camping sites that will allow you to fully enjoy your visit. A great bonus in this guide book is the full-color AAA maps that show detailed driving instructions. Details are included on funky local gourmet shopping for things like preserves, olive oil, renewable energy goods, candles, cheese and cow-themed gifts. Also get descriptions of gourmet restaurants featuring California, French and Italian cuisines. There’s a lot more to wine country than its sweet nectar. Parks, bed and breakfasts, hot spring spas, ballooning, biking adventures and historic spots are just a small portion of what’s covered. It also tells you where to stock a picnic basket with gourmet cheese and fresh fruits in case you get tired of savoring cuisine prepared by master chefs in the area. Mary lets us in on the biggest secret of Southern California’s wineries. Most of them are run by winemakers personally dedicated to the craft. Don’t worry—all the big-name wineries are included in the book, but dozens of lesser known wineries are described in detail. So, get off the road and delve into this region's true connoisseur culture. Hidden Wine Country Buy it now at Amazon.com , |
