Seasons of the Vineyard: A Year of Celebrations and Recipes from the Robert Mondavi Winery

This is not your standard everyday cookbook...in fact it is almost a coffee table book. The material in the book is a mix of recipes, information about wine and about the vineyards, printed on extremely fine paper. The book is organized into four main sections according to the seasons of the year. Recipes designed for each season are included, and many of the recipes are simply wonderful. In addition to the recipes, spectacular photographs of vineyards, surrounding countryside and, of course of the food are included. This is a wonderful book and it's a shame that it is out of print. I would recommend it to any chef who wants interesting recipes that include wine, as well as to anyone who is interested in wine. Bon appetite!
