Summary: If you can only have One Wine Country Guide Book............
Review: This is a nice little book that doesn't try to be all things to the California Wine Country Visitor. It has some really fine touches:The three-day Weekend itinerary is one that works for a first time visitor, and while I would change few stops, I have been touring here since 1968! The little inserts on many pages are very up-to-date (the new wine cruises up the Sacarmanto River) and the informative ones (like the one about Oakville Grocery and the historical tid-bit on page 86) give the reader something to look forward to on every turn of a page. The black & white maps could have used a little more detail (have to say something needs improvement) but the color AAA ones are a nice, convenient touch. All-in-all there may be better tour books around, but not as concise, well written, informative, and available for only $14. Going to the California Wine Country? Buy this book!!! You will enjoy your trip much, much more with it along.
