Completely up-to-date, Frommer's Portable California Wine Country is a handy guide that will give you proven strategies for exploring the region. Our candid reviews of the top wineries will tell you which tours are worth your time and which wineries offer affordable bottles. You'll also get a beginner's guide to California wines: varietals, recommendations on recent vintages, tips on wine-tasting protocol (how to sniff, swish, and spit like a pro), tips on shipping, and much, much more. And when wine-tasting is done for the day, turn to our candid, complete reviews of the region's fabulous inns and restaurants!

Touristy hot spots.......2007-05-04
Just because a travel guide rips into the Mondavi winery as being too touristy does not mean it has any special insights on how to see parts of Napa that are off the beaten path. Mondavi is an easy target. Nevertheless, this guide does have some good info about where to go to get some free drink--and do not worry about wine-drinking protocol. Because if you like it, that's all the counts. The best vintage I ever had was still the '53 Chateau Mouton Rothschild my uncle gave me as a present for getting my doctorate in material science, and I slurped down that bottle while eating a corndog.
Trip to wine country.......2007-03-10
I'm planning a trip to wine country and needed some information, not an encyclopedia's worth. This was concise and will be handy to take with me. It is laid out geographically which will make it that much easier to see the wineries that I want to see.
Good Guide.......2006-05-31
We're not what you'd consider wine snobs and bought this book for the good excuse of checking out wine country which is just a short drive away. It's nice they included restaurants. After all the tasting stops it made our outing complete and we drove home totally content as well as sober.
Excellent little book.......2006-02-25
This small book (only 172 pages) is perfect for planning your next Sonoma/Napa visit. In fact, although I have been many times to Napa, I wanted a new place to stay with a fireplace and jacuzzi bath and privacy. I found a great place in the book called Cottage Grove Inn - with 2 Frommers stars.
Because it is so portable, not all the wineries are listed, so if what you need is a listing of all wineries this may not be your book. However, if you need to find the best in hotels and dining experiences as well as some of the best wineries to discover for yourself, then this little jewel is perfect.
A must have on a trip to Wine country.......2004-03-31
I used this book to plan a short weekend trip to Napa Valley from Los Angeles. This book packed with all sorts of great information for each different wine country city (napa, yountville, etc) from best types of hotels for every budget, nearby attractions, spas, picnic spots, restaurants, etc. And of course a concise review and rating of the wineries in each city.
I found myself taking the bag out of my bag during the trip to read up on different wineries and attractions I wanted to visit.
It is very small and compact so it's easy to take with you too.
Book Description

An Excellent Breed Owner's Handbook.......1999-10-21
Sharon's book covers everything the GWP owner would like to know, from the basics of new puppy questions to being a resource for breeders. I especially like being able to see pictures of our breed's foundation sires and dams.
It's probably time for this book to be updated as there are several top kennels and dogs to be considered today.
This book is currently considered "the breed book." I have recommended this book to all my puppy buyers to trace their pup's ancestors, including pictures, what fun!
Excellent, from up-bringing to showing & training!.......1999-08-17
This is a great book, focusing specifically on the breed. It has information on all aspects of owning a German wire-haired pointer (and indeed a lot of information on general dog owning), from choosing a puppy through up-bringing, showing,training and working. It doesn't, however, assume that you will show or work your dog, so it is also good for people who simply want a family pet. Having bought my puppy from Sharon, I know that she is extremely knowledgeable about the breed.
Great book for history of the breed worldwide.......1998-07-27
This book is a very thorough examination of the breeds history and origin. Also gives particular attention to some of the great GWP's in the past that contributed to making this the excellent dog that it is today. A good read for anyone who is familiar with the breed and interested in competing in the ring or the field with thier dog.
Wonderful Book!!.......1998-05-29
This book is helpful for people inquiring about the breed. It lists breeders all over the country. It is also helpful for breeders. Wonderful Job Sharon!!!

"Ted Steinberg proves once again that he is a master storyteller as well as our foremost environmental historian."—Mike Davis
The rise of the perfect lawn represents one of the most profound transformations in the history of the American landscape. American Green, Ted Steinberg's witty exposé of this bizarre phenomenon, traces the history of the lawn from its explosion in the postwar suburban community of Levittown to the present love affair with turf colorants, leaf blowers, and riding mowers. 47 illustrations.
