It’s like a checkbook that fits into your purse or glove box. Inside, I describe my favorite places to taste, stay, eat & shop in Napa & Sonoma.  I invented the VIP Pass so you can enjoy special tours & tastings at each of my favorite places.  Each VIP Pass has my review, a picture of the winery, B&B or restaurant, & a description of what you get.  Each VIP Pass is worth a minimum of $40. In between the passes are Insider Tips, called A Tip of  the Glass, about where the locals’ eat, where to shop, plus wine tasting & buying tips.  Volume 1 has VIP Passes worth over $700 & expires Sept 2011.
