Announcing a New Book: The Napa Navigator

Online, August 14, 2013 (Newswire.com) - For all of its beauty and potential for intoxication, Wine Country is Farm Country, albeit with really good restaurants, and wine is a farm product, more akin to baskets of strawberries than liquor bottles behind a downtown cocktail bar. The big difference is that you have to search out that wine along winding, narrow roads. So, the Amicis Winery Guide's newest book, the Napa Navigator provides the busy and slightly inebriated wine tourist with what they need.

First, 5 short chapters about navigating Napa safely and enjoying wine tasting like an adult. Second: A detailed, unbiased (AWG accepts no advertising) winery directory from 'in the know' tour guides, of the most often visited places, excluding those that require a secret handshake to get in.

Finally, 24 easy to read, and write on maps keyed to the directory, including overviews, regions and theme itineraries based on how people actually tour for a day. Both the text and maps use larger than average fonts making the book very useable both in and out of a car. That's because people don't come to Wine Country to read, but they do want the inside, honest story about the wineries and they like not getting lost. Being an on the road tour book it is only available in print format. Find it at Amazon.com under Napa Navigator Maps by Ralph and Lahni de Amicis.

Ralph & Lahni de Amicis are authors of numerous wine tour books, popular mobile apps and they produce the Napa Television show Wine Country @ Work. They also drive private tours and do educational welcome speeches in Napa and Sonoma. Watch the book trailer video at AmicisTours.com/napanavigator.html
