The Pacific Northwest is a region that's become increasingly known not only for its breathtaking scenery, but also for its maverick winemakers and award-winning wines. Each spring, summer, and fall, wine lovers flock to the region to sip world-class wines. "Swirl, Sip and Savor" includes recipes from 100 wineries in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. As appetizers and small plates enjoy increasing popularity as mini-course restaurants spring up around the country, the book contains a wide variety of appetizer and small plate recipes, with an emphasis on Pacific Northwest fresh flavors and ingredients. Each recipe has been selected by a regional winery (winemaker and/or chef) and accompanies a suggested wine pairing from their vineyards. Recipes range from simple starters and finger foods to more sophisticated small plates. Approximately one-third of the wineries featured are accompanied by a short profile.

The remarkable untold story of France’s courageous, clever vinters who protected and rescued the country’s most treasured commodity from German plunder during World War II. "To be a Frenchman means to fight for your country and its wine." –Claude Terrail, owner, Restaurant La Tour d’Argent In 1940, France fell to the Nazis and almost immediately the German army began a campaign of pillaging one of the assets the French hold most dear: their wine. Like others in the French Resistance, winemakers mobilized to oppose their occupiers, but the tale of their extraordinary efforts has remained largely unknown–until now. This is the thrilling and harrowing story of the French wine producers who undertook ingenious, daring measures to save their cherished crops and bottles as the Germans closed in on them. Wine and War illuminates a compelling, little-known chapter of history, and stands as a tribute to extraordinary individuals who waged a battle that, in a very real way, saved the spirit of France.
