SONOMA, CA—California wine travel insider Tom Silberkleit will be signing copies of his latest book, The California Directory of Fine Wineries, 5th Edition at two Tyler Florence shops on Wednesday, January 25, 2012 in downtown Napa, CA and on Thursday, January 26, 2012 in Mill Valley, CA. A wine tasting, highlighting wines featured in the book, will also be held at each event.

“The book focuses on diverse wineries that not only produce excellent wines,” said Silberkleit, “but are incredible must-see destinations, from beautiful gardens and 100-year-old wine caves to museum-quality art exhibitions, bocce ball courts and local olive oil tastings.”

This new 5th Edition was written by travel writers K. Reka Badger and Marty Olmstead and illustrated by Marin County travel photographer Robert Holmes, whose photos have appeared in National Geographic and Wine Spectator.

A variety of wines from the new book will be poured at the two events: Handley Cellars, Greenwood Ridge Vineyards, and McFadden Vineyard, from Mendocino County; Frank Family Vineyards from Napa Valley; Jordan Vineyards & Winery and Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery from Sonoma County. (A surprise bonus wine from Sta. Rita Hills will be sampled as well.)

Both events are scheduled to run from 6-8 p.m. For more information call the Tyler Florence shops: Napa 707-254-9977; Mill Valley, 415-380-9200 and visit the book’s Facebook fan page for event news or CaliforniaFineWineries.com.
