THE WINES OF BAJA CALIFORNIA
Touring and Tasting Mexico's Undiscovered Treasures
By Ralph Amey

The 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 info at www.wineappreciation.com
