I don’t remember seeing this mentioned on the forum, but it is possible that I have missed a thread, so apologies if it has already been covered? Knowing the number of people with a fondness for all things Piedmont/Piemonte, I thought that I should mention it. I dropped in to Tom Maresca’s ‘Tom’s Wine Line’ blog the other day and he featured a new book by Tom Hyland: ‘The Wines and Foods of Piemonte’ which was released a couple of months ago. I’ve since been in touch with Tom to order a copy and while currently out of stock, he has a new print run coming through shortly. A google search for the ‘Tom’s Wine Line’ blog or Tom Hyland’s own ‘learnitalianwines’ blog should give you all the details.
It is a very nice, well-written book meant to be carried with you when you go. It covers all of Piedmont, not just B&B. It has restaurant recos as well. Unfortunately for me, it came just after I got back from my trip. And by coincidence, it came the same day as Suzanne Hoffman’s book, so I was a bit overwhelmed. I would recommend both to anyone who loves the region.
p.s. as I just checked on the details (via his twitter page mentioned above), it seems fair to share the info:
"The cost of the book is $40. This includes the cost of shipping within the United States and Canada. In Europe, Asia or elsewhere, add $15 for shipping charges. "
