A fine armchair planner and destination-oriented guide

Wine buffs who enjoy reading of and touring small wineries will want to choose Wine Country USA: Touring, Tasting And Buying At America's Regional Wineries as both a fine armchair planner and destination-oriented guide. It's the only guide to narrow the focus to small, unique wineries across the nation, presenting ten 'tasting trails' to help visitors map out treks to recommended vineyards form Pennsylvania to California. Gorgeous color photos of these unusual areas abound, but it's the focus on nontraditional regions - and the tips on accommodations and local attractions - which keep Wine Country USA intriguing.
