4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide to the winery's offerings, September 11, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Northwest Wines: A Pocket Guide to the Wines of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho (Paperback)

After visiting many of the wineries described within the book I found the content to be very much in line with my observations. Not an exact match (we agreed on about 3/4ths of them), though differences could be explained by palate.

Even though it is difficult to remain current, I think the authors did a very good job. The only item I found lacking is a general guide to vintages, ala the tearout from some wine magazines. For example, which wines are generally best for a particular year and when it is expected to reach its peak. One specifically for the regions in the book would be helpful.

All in all, though -- good job!
