I’m long overdue in recommending my friend Teri Citterman’s latest book, the Northwest Wine Journal, as the perfect gift for every Northwest wine lover on your list (don’t forget Valentine’s Day!).

With varietal info and plenty of room to write down your favorite wineries and wine finds along the trail, it was published late last year by local publisher, Sasquatch Books, who also published my very own Pike Place Market Cookbook, and retails for $13.95. 

Here’s the ever-glamorous Teri in early December, at her book-launch party at The Local Vine in Seattle’s Belltown section.
