Review
"Oenophiles will pop their corks with Breaking Away to Virginia and Maryland Wineries by Elisabeth Frater." Publisher's Weekly
"Did you know they make wine in all 50 states? So you don't have to limit yourself to California on your wine tours. Turns out there's a winery in Virginia called Barboursville Vineyards and Historic Ruins that makes pinot noir, merlot, cabernet franc, chardonnay and a dozen other wines. And it puts on Opera in the Vineyards presentations on a stage with an elegant backdrop of the stately columns of a house designed by Thomas Jefferson that burned down in 1884. And a there's a winery called Stonewall Vineyards, in Concord, Va., that makes such French hybrid wines as chambourcin and vidal blanc. Even mead. Guarantee you'll learn something you didn't know."

"It's a good guide for anyone who wants to visit these splendid places."

"...provides readers an inside glimpse into more than 70 area wineries and their products." Legal Times
"...a guide to the producers and their facilities. It also includes lodging information and maps." Tom Marquardt and Patrick Darr, Annapolis (MD) Capital
"On one level this book serves as a tour guide to the wineries of Virginia and Maryland; on another level it is much more...There is a sense of discovery in the author's essays. First impressions often mean a great deal, and in an interview one builds on them. The result is a word picture that can be every bit as revealing as a photograph. The enduring feature about this first edition, it seems to me, is that it gives a first person picture of the wine industry as it exists in the early days of the 21st century...the freshness and immediacy of this edition will keep it on my shelves for a long time to come."
Hudson Cattell, Wine East, January/ February, 2003
"...aimed at Washingtonians looking for weekend getaways." Deborah Scoblionkov, Philadelphia Inquirer
