Wines of Baja California
Touring and Tasting Mexico's Undiscovered Treasures
by Ralph Amey
Wines of Baja California may not look like much but
it's chock-full of great information. Prefaced by Dimitri
Tchelistcheff, former Technical Director at Bodegas Santo
Tomas, Baja's oldest winery, and written by wine educator
Ralph Amey, Ph.D., C.W.E., the guide delves into the valleys
that comprise Baja California: Valley de Guadelupe, Valley
de Santo Tomas, Valley de San Vicente and Valley de Tecate.
It discusses the winery of each region including history,
winemaker's philosophy, vineyard techniques, the wines as
well as food and wine pairings. A section called "Getting
There" helps explore Mexico's wines from the border's
three crossings. Finally, readers will find the biggest
wine festivals, best restaurants and hotels. $19.95 More
