TESTIMONIALS
“…I love the Enobytes book! The history is well documented and the photos are great. Marc’s storytelling is definitely humorous but just as informative. I would recommend this book.”
“…the pace of Enobytes Pacific Northwest Cuisine moves fast and the story is compelling and engaging…I could not put it down.”
“I recommend @enobytes for being an awesome member of the wine community!”
“…Wine writer Hinton traces the influences that have shaped the cuisine of the Pacific Northwest.”
“Enobytes provides a lot of quality tools for the wine lover in all of us, including 90+ point wines under $20 [and a truly great vintage chart]…I think you’ll appreciate their conversational style as well as their willingness to interact with readers through email, their forum and even video.”
“I enjoyed the author’s witty and lighthearted humor that covers the culinary and wine scenes of the Pacific Northwest. Refreshing read for a history book, which covers 13,000 years in a matter of 200+ pages.”
“If you are a foodie or a student of Pacific Northwest History, this is a good read and timeline of events. Reading this book will bring into light why this area is so dependent and blessed to have the great agricultural movement it does. Hopefully, it will ignite the reader to continue that cause.”
“I bought this book for my daughter, which is in culinary school. Before wrapping it up as a gift, I started reading it and I could not put it down. The synopsis is spot on as the author is quite humorous.”
“It started with a tweet from @enobytes and then I ended up a wine club member at Tablas Creek”
“Enobytes is one of THE BEST websites about WINE on all of “The Internets”
“One of the best wine bloggers in the biz”
“Locate amazing vineyards all over the world!”
“The Enobytes trivia game is fun and addictive!”
“Enobytes (twitter) trivia games are fun & informative! Great site, too.”
“Pamela is full of wine knowledge and her #VinQ wine trivia is always great fun! “
“We dig @enobytes because wine is fun, trivial . . they help keep us informed and on our toes”
