Customer Review: A wonderful book for touring the Piedmont.

I was so surprised at how much I came to rely on this guidebook on our recent trip to the Italian Piedmont. There is really nothing like it -- little obscure roads that you would never consider taking are highlighted here because they lead to a wonderful winery or vineyard or restaurant. The suggestions and contact information for getting tours of vineyards and wineries that are not generally open were very helpful. The descriptions of the restaurants were nothing less than wonderful -- no matter where you were in the Piedmont, they had a recommendation which was almost always perfect. If you are driving in the Piedmont of Italy, if you enjoy and are interested in wine, and if you like great finds in restaurants which will not be covered over in tourists -- buy this book. A gem.
