Exploring Wine Regions – Bordeaux France by Michael C. Higgins, PhD is a travel guide to beautiful Bordeaux and its surrounding areas. The book focuses on viticulture and vinification. The readers will go on rich culinary, cultural, and outdoor adventures. The book consists of around 490 colorful pages with photographs and images captured by the author himself.

In the starting pages of the book, the readers will experience the fascinating viticulture fields of Bordeaux, followed by the process of winemaking. The readers will get to know about the origin of viticulture and winemaking. The details about variants of grapes cultivated to produce the world's best wine are also scripted in this book. I was amazed to know that Napa Valley’s Cabernet sauvignon originally hails from Bordeaux. The book is not only about kinds of wine and winemaking; the author has compiled a complete travel guide by featuring hotels, restaurants, churches, museums, and street art tourists will love to visit. The hotel details come with photographs and addresses. The book invites you on an unexpected yet marvelous quest to the land of Bordeaux, France. Lastly, the book will enlighten the readers about finding good wine at reasonable prices.

The book will take the readers on a literary trip to Bordeaux, France. Everything in the book is written with utmost detail and perfection. The reading experience is made more entertaining by the beautiful views of wine regions and other famous places of Bordeaux.

The best thing about the book is how comprehensively it is written. I loved the images and photographs, which reflected the author’s photography talents. The pages are laced with maps and colorful imagery. I wish I had read the physical copy and not the online copy of the book. The format and arrangement of the book made it very easy to grasp the contents of the book. Honestly, there is nothing I dislike about the book. It is a very enlightening read.

Coming to the editing of the book, I did not come across any noticeable typos or errors. The book seems to be professionally edited. Also, the writing is plain yet informative.

On the whole, I will rate this book a 4 out of 4 stars read. It is a beautiful book filled with details about winemaking and travel spots around Bordeaux. The imagery is worth admiring. I can't help but imagine how beautiful the wine regions of Bordeaux might be.

I would recommend this book to people who love to explore and travel to new places. Readers fond of wine must read his book. The book holds a great deal of history about winemaking, so readers who enjoy reading about the history of winemaking should also give this book a try. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
