I just got this book and couldn't wait to post my review. The simplicity of specific wine pairings for us wine un-initiates is just marvelous and the recipes are mouth watering. Everyone should grab this book.

Featuring full color photography of not only the finished dishes, but also the beautiful vineyards from which they came, The Vineyard Cookbook: Seasonal Recipes & Wine Pairings Inspired by America's Vineyards is a recipe collection sure to appeal to connoisseurs. Offering a tour of thirty-two outstanding American vineyards as well as sixty delectable recipes for all seasons, The Vineyard Cookbook is a treasury ideal for any wine lover. Sample recipes include "Oyster, Scallion & Watercress Soup", "Ricotta & Prosciutto Crostini", "Pan-Seared Duck Breasts with Red-Wine Sauce", and much more. Highly recommended.

Kudos to all participants involved in creating this delicious vineyard cookbook! The beautifully designed jacket and the hardcover of this book are the same, giving a feeling of elegance. The size of this cook book is convenient for all in the kitchen. The photography of landscapes and succulent foods, along with superb print quality, makes one want to start food preparations immediately. The ease of the recipes and the many choices of wines to pair with these delicious dishes, make it approachable for even the novice cook.

There is no other cookbook like this. It's a delightful blend of wonderful recipes, stunning photography, and useful wine facts (I already made the roasted potatoes and arugula with goat cheese--it was too good to wait!). I can't wait to try some of the recommended wines with the recipes--it's exciting to see vineyards from all over the country, and at a wide range of prices. There's definitely a wine there to please any palate.

Artfully combining simple, elegant recipes with thoughtful suggestions of fine wine, The Vineyard Cookbook seems to offer something for everyone. Aesthetically, this book is a beauty - with the vibrant landscape photography of vineyards from around the country to a variety of photos which feature each recipe completed as a lovely meal. During these uncertain times, it's refreshing to sit down with a book that reminds us of the simple pleasures in life; sharing healthy homemade food and a fragrant bottle of wine with family and friends. This book is a little treasure for your coffee table or kitchen and I highly recommend it. Oh, and don't forget the music with your meal. Enjoy!

Three talented photographers and one excellent food writer get together to create an appealing, affordable, useful, unpretentious cookbook that belongs as easily in your kitchen as on your coffee table. The variety of American wines, wineries and vineyards selected from both coasts should make this an attractive item for people all over the country. The recipes are elegant, yet simple and the wine pairings thoughtful. This book suggests road trip. Go visit these wineries this summer.
