Compass American Guides: California Wine Country, 6th Edition

We just spent a week in Napa Valley and this book did not leave our car the entire trip. This book covers the major areas of Napa (St. Helena, Calistoga, etc), Sonoma, other popular wine regions in Cali, though a majority is dedicated to Napa. It essentially includes the highlights and must sees as well as some "off-the-beaten-path" wineries. It's also evident the writer visited each and every winery mentioned there is a spot on description (full paragraph) of the wineries which includes details about the atmosphere, a brief history, what to expect at tastings, etc. It's also loaded tips and suggestions for wine country - biking trails, scenic drives, tasting room etiquette, etc. This is definately recommended for first timers.

One of the best guides that I have found...I give one or recommend one for all friends wanting to visit the Napa/Sonoma Valley Wine Country...very informative guide.
