Praise for the Wine Seeker's Guides

Here we sit on the East Coast, sippin’ on a five buck Noveau Red while skimming through our old buddy Tom Wilmer’s new Wine Seeker’s Guide to Livermore Valley. He once again has us dreaming of sliding into a ragtop rental with a lovely companion to experience first-hand his latest worthy guide.

~Bob Kappstatter, New York Daily News

Tom Wilmer brings his award-winning style to a surprisingly unknown area for wine tour adventures...The next time I find myself in San Francisco, I’ll be slipping out of town with The Wine Seeker’s Guide to Livermore Valley, and then some serious sipping can start.

~Max Wooldridge, active & adrenalin writer—The Mail on Sunday, London

While on assignment with Tom on a beautiful trip to Tahiti and Bora Bora I got to know him as a passionate travel writer and photographer. But as an Italian and lover of good wines I am now in awe of the depth of history and culture which accompanies the reader well beyond the taste of Bacchus’ nectar in The Wine Seeker’s Guide to Livermore Valley.

~Silvia Bizio, La RepubbLica daily newspaper, italy

Anyone venturing into the beautiful Livermore Valley without this finely written, very thorough new book on an often overlooked region will miss 90 percent of what makes it so fascinating, so fertile, and so expressive of what the word terroir really means.
~ John Mariani, Bloomberg News wine columnist

Complete visitor's guide and more: Wilmer's book tells the collective personal story of winemaking in this historic, burgeoning, undersung California wine region. The Wine Seeker's Guide will put you on the fast track to being a Livermore Valley wine insider.

~ Sara Schneider, Wine Editor, Sunset Magazine

The Wine Seeker’s Guide to Livermore Valley reminds me of an afternoon’s long, comfort-filled conversation with a savvy but generous friend eager to share with new-old friends his enthusiasm for good things: culture, cuisine, community, art, history; all those qualities that pair so well with fine wines and la dolce vita.

–Georgia I. Hesse, founding travel editor of the San Francisco Examiner
