Review:
“Exploring Wine Regions – Bordeaux France” by Michael C. Higgins has opened my eyes to the beautiful Bordeaux wine region of France. Now my love affair with France has even more to love!
The beauty that Michael C. Higgins brings forth is simply outstanding! Between the writing and the photography, I felt like I’d taken a vacation as I flipped the pages! Both alluring and inviting, a lot of photos took my breathe away! Stunning, Fancy, Warm, Glorious and captivating!
The Buildings, like homes and castles are so appealing they feel like fairy-tales! I am in awe! To me they are magical.
To feel like I was standing at among the vineyards sipping on a glass of wine has been such a gift! Michael C. Higgins is very talented. We need more of these books!
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher in exchange for a fair and honest review.
5 Stars.

Review:
Micheal C. Higgins obviously has an amazing eye for taking the right “shot”! He captures Argentina’s Wine Country in such a way that now it is on my bucket list to visit!
I am in love with Malbec’s and to read that Higgins “hadn’t met a Malbec he hasn’t liked” was just super exciting because it became my favorite wine after I received a bottle as a gift from a friend that went to Argentina.
I was so enticed by the horses and food. It felt like I was alongside Michael as he visited Argentina. He shares this part of the world to us like a genius! Everything is delicious! Everything is exciting!
This book can certainly serve as a travel guide. We need more books like this. I trust everyone can enjoy this book, even those that want to take a trip without leaving their home. Micheal C. Higgins provides us with a truly sensational romp through Argentina’s Wine Country. Beautiful, Warm, Inviting, Glamorous, and quite lovely!
Everyone that enjoys wine needs this book!
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher in exchange for a fair and honest review.
