Even if you can't visit (and believe me, after paging through this gorgeous book, you'll want to), this book will help you create a convivial, wine-country feast in your own home."Paso Robles is a region full of mavericks and innovators...French wine nobility cultivate vineyards next to fourth-generation cowboys, and for every sleek new wine bar, there's a cowboy saloon with moose heads hung on the walls."

--Susan Feniger, chef and owner of Border Grill Restaurants and Susan Feniger's Street
California's Central Coast wine country is on everyone's lips. Running roughly from Monterey to Santa Barbara, the Central Coast is the fastest-growing American Viticultural
Area (AVA) in the state. Here, great minds conceive and create great wines--many of them blends of Rhone grape varieties. Complement these wines with the lush resources of
unspoiled land, sea, and barnyard and you have the recipe for a fresh and alluring wine country lifestyle.
For nearly two centuries, people have gravitated to the Golden State. But it's the center of the state that remains pristine, far enough from the crowded cities but close enough for a long weekend trip. The land of rolling, golden hills; lush agricultural produce; and simple values still remains. You could call it "Tuscany, with cowboys."
In this lushly photographed tome, best-selling cookbook author Brigit Binns writes a vivid, delicious love letter to her home state. 120 Wine-friendly and wine-inclusive dishes showcase California's glorious bounty, such as Shaved Artichoke and Pancetta Salad with Lavender; Fennel- and Garlic-Crusted Roast Chicken; Petrale Sole with Pinot Noir Butter Sauce; and Fresh Fig Tart with Honey, Goat Cheese, and Pistachios. Each recipe has a wine pairing suggestion from the region as well as from afar. Plus, 25 get-to-know-them profiles bring the reader inside the hearts and minds of the region's
passionate winemakers and food artisans. We all dream of the wine country lifestyle. With "The New Wine Country Cookbook," you can now savor the romance, bold honest flavors, and rustic outdoor sensibility
of California's sublimely unpretentious new wine country in your own home.
