Book Reviews of Frommer's Portable California Wine Country (Frommer's Portable)
Book Review: Broad, Generic, Timid
Summary: 2 Stars
This, like the other Frommer's Guides I have seen, seems to be timid, generic and void of fun, gritty, insider information. It gave some useful information to read on the plane about various wineries, but I left it in my hotel the days I headed out to Sonoma, and this I did on purpose. Do your research and buy a better guide.
