Summer Reading List: California Wine Country

blog_copperfieldsfront_01.jpgLong days, beach weekends - summer's here, which means there's plenty of time to catch up on some reading. W asked four of our favorite bookstores for their best sellers and top picks on what to peruse between now and Labor Day.

With neighbors that include The French Laundry and Robert Mondavi Wines, it's no surprise that Copperfield's Books in Napa and Sonoma does a brisk business in titles about vino and food - especially when it's Anthony Bourdain talking about the local talent. "We've gotten a nice bounce from his new book 'Medium Raw' (Ecco)," says Ty Wilson, the store's buyer. "He's naming names, including Guy Fieri, which is interesting because he's from this area." Wilson told us what else is selling this summer.

I'm in the middle of is "One Day" (Hodder & Stoughton) by David Nicholls, which is a hilarious, breezy, romantic comedy. Another good read is "Spies of the Balkans" (Random House) by Alan Furst, which is centered around World War II intrigue in northern Greece.
