The Wine Country Traveller: Napa

Yea though I walk through the valley of the warm Napa, I will fear no dehydration, for I've such a wonderful assortment of fine wineries at which to wet my whistle. Grape lovers (both white and red) will enjoy this amiable tour through the south, central, and north areas of the Napa Valley wine country with host Dave Eckert. Visiting such renowned spots as the Mondavi Winery and Joseph Phelps Vineyards, Eckert looks over the grounds, banters with the vintners, and--lucky dog--either gets free samples or tax-deductible ones. In addition to meeting the California grape on its own turf, the program checks out the local eats and tourist attractions (also covered in the accompanying booklet). A second tape, The Wine Country Traveller: Sonoma is also available. Better than Napa Sonoma Wine Country Tour (VL-7/93), this one's recommended for larger travel collections. (R. Pitman)
