Review of Exploring Wine Regions – Bordeaux France
[Following is a volunteer review of "Exploring Wine Regions – Bordeaux France" by Michael C. Higgins, PhD.]
Get ready to add Bordeaux to your travel bucket list! Exploring Wine Regions – Bordeaux France by Michael C. Higgins, Ph.D. is a must-have for any wine lover. This wine tourism book takes you on a journey through the heart of Bordeaux, one of the most influential wine regions in the world. This book has information for the seasoned wine connoisseur or beginner, providing an in-depth look at the art of winemaking and the culture of Bordeaux.
The author's personal interjections throughout the book add a touch of humor and make it more enjoyable to read. The author clearly has a passion for wine that shines through in his writing, and it's clear that he wants to share his knowledge and excitement for Bordeaux with the reader. As a wine consumer without a lot of knowledge of the industry, I was pleasantly surprised by the author's ability to make wine accessible to all levels and to provide a comprehensive look at the region.
One of the best things about this book is that it's not just about wine. The author also explores the culture, art, and soul of Bordeaux. The author's love for the region is palpable and makes the reader want to visit Bordeaux, stay in a castle, and drink as much wine as possible. The book provides valuable information on history, important sites, food, and shopping, with many personal touches and inside tips. I especially enjoyed the information on the different classifications of wine and how the soil affects the grapes and taste of wine. The author also points readers to additional resources online for those who want to learn more. The book includes a glossary of wine terms at the end, which is a great resource for beginners.
The book is laid out by geography, making it easy to reference and plan a trip. The author's expertise is evident in the information he provides, and because none of the places reviewed in the book have paid for their reviews, the book is a trustworthy resource for wine lovers.
My only note is that I would have appreciated a more creative layout of pictures and text. The book can get a little dense at some points, so I recommend reading this book in print, as it can be hard to digest on a phone or e-reader.
In conclusion, I rate Exploring Wine Regions – Bordeaux France 5 out of 5 stars. It is an invaluable resource for wine and travel lovers alike. Whether you are planning a trip to Bordeaux or just want to learn more about wine, this book is a must-read.
