There is something a little different for everyone. The Cork Dork was so beautiful as a first person experience from an outsider into the world of wine. Bianca experienced a world many dream of and told the story almost as if you were there with her. The California Directories are always handy when tasting wine in wine country. A perfect way to plan an upcoming trip, dream about where you might go one day or if you hop into the car and don’t know where to go it will give you lots of ideas. And what better guide on Champagne from a wine book written while spending quality time at the leading French wine producer in Champagne, Krug Champagne. Imagine spending time in the vineyards of Champagne at Krug? It doesn’t get any better.

One down & two to go! Wine & books are two of my favorite things… Cheers!
Very cool. Which one did you read and what did you think Misty?
Thanks for the recommendations Kelly. Cork Dork has been getting quite a bit of attention lately. Another wine book I read recently is “American Wino. Reds, Whites and One Man’s Blues.” Pretty hilarious but not for the faint of heart.
Thanks for taking the time to post Suzanna. I will have to take a look at your recommendation. Kelly
I just finished Cork dork which is great The California book has 1 star on amazon Let me know what your teview is.
Hi Tracy, The review is in the post. I read the review on Amazon prior to publishing. The person who rated the Directory of California Wineries was looking for a complete list of all wineries.That would make it over 1,000 listings.This book is specifically vetting who they consider some of the most beautiful & unique experiences and world-class properties. Great for getting an initial handle on the areas, but if you want to visit all 1,000 wineries in the three regions a wine map or two would be a better choice. Hope that helps. Thanks for popping in.
Hi Kelly,
Just got back from three weeks in China (where the home-grown offerings include Great Wall Cabernet Sauvignon), and what a delight to see your review of The California Directory of Fine Wineries! Thanks for the kind words. My coauthor (Cheryl Crabtree) and I had a great time researching the book and really liked the mix of upscale and down-home wineries this edition. Hope to cross paths with you at a few! Yours truly, Danny Mangin
Welcome back Danny, Great to have your book in here. It really is a well-done directory and very well written. I truly enjoyed it!
