Misleading...Do NOt Buy This Book,
This review is from: Pacific Northwest: The Ultimate Winery Guide: Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia (Paperback)
This book is in no way an "ultimate" guide. It covers only 30 wineries in all of Oregon Washington and British Columbia. It mentions only 3 wineries within 150 miles of us and there are over a dozen. Do not buy this book if you are expecting to get a thorough and detailed discussion of Pacific Northwest Wineries.
The strong point of the book is the quality of the paper and photographs which probably accounts for the books cost. There are many alternative books which cover wineries in the Pacific Northwest better and which cost less. Save your money and buy one or more of them.

Great Pictures and Wine,

This review is from: Pacific Northwest: The Ultimate Winery Guide: Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia (Paperback)
My wife I and I loved this book, as it combined fantastic pictures of popular wine regions of the Pacific Northwest along with historical information and the winery background. Get this book if enjoy looking at good photography and want to see what the area looks like. Do not get this book if you want to know the location and background of every single winery in the area (honestly, there are better ways to get this information). This is a book you will keep around on the coffee table for years as opposed to the typical winery guide book which can get out of date in only a few years.

Best of both worlds!,
This review is from: Pacific Northwest: The Ultimate Winery Guide: Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia (Paperback)
I personally love this book because it really IS the best of both worlds. It features the guidebook part as well as the photobook. The photographs are really stunning and set the ambiance for a trip to the NW. The guidebook makes for a great pre-trip resource to Oregon, Washington or BC plus it has a list of good restaurants in the region too so thats always a plus. I think of it as a visual journey through NW wine country and highly recommend it to anyone.
