• This Is A Great Book 15 May, 2007
As the title says the Ultimate winery guide. As in the best not just another winery guide. If you are interested in a guide book of all the wineries in the NW then this is not the book for you. If you want to know what everyone would consider 30 great wineries than buy this book. The photos are amazing and you get a true sense of what it takes to build a great winery.

• Misleading...do Not Buy This Book 09 May, 2007
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.

• Best Of Both Worlds! 12 July, 2007
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.

• Great Pictures And Wine 16 September, 2007
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is a book you will keep around on the coffee table for years as opposed to the typical winery guide book which can get out of date in only a few years.

• Great Gift 14 January, 2008
My dad loves Australian wine. He's a trained sommelier but focuses much of his wine attention to Australian wines. I live in the Pacific Northwest (Seattle) and I know that the wine up here is pretty good. I gave my dad this book as a gift to help him build his knowledge and appreciation of Pacific Northwest wines.
He loves the book and already has a list of wineries he has to visit next time he's here.
Informative with some outstanding photography.
