By Lori Lyn Narlock
(Chronicle Books)

Here's an insider's look at the wine paradise. Longtime resident Lori Lyn Narlock shares the scoop on where to eat, drink, shop, get wrapped in grape seed mud or where to fill your sweet tooth.

This is just the kind of book for us at Gayot. We won't rest until we find the finest, the most exclusive, the most local, the most authentic of everything: Find out where the local winemakers dine, where the top toques shop, where the best gourmet stores are for artisan cheeses, olive oils or yummy breads. Also included are such things as tips on the most picturesque picnic sites and 50 delicious-sounding recipes.

Whether you're visiting Napa for the first time or even live there, this makes a great and handy companion.
