Michael C. Higgins

I publish a book series called Exploring Wine Regions. It is an insiders' travel guide to visiting the beautiful wine regions around the world, including insiders tips to getting into these wineries, the culinary adventures, food and wine experiences, lodging in the vineyards, and other interesting activities that make wine region travel so special. My books make the perfect gift. So often it's difficult to know what kind of wine to buy for someone, yet this is coffee table beautiful with hundreds of color photographs printed on museum quality paper. It's a very impressive.

In Exploring Wine Regions – Mexico: Discovering Mexico's Quality Wines and Phenomenal Cuisine, I wrote the book about their wine regions to open peoples eyes about the excellent wines that Mexico is making. People think of Mexico for tequila, as they should, and yet the wine regions are producing excellent wines, and many of the wineries have restaurants with extraordinary international cuisine. If you love wine or food, going to the Mexico wine regions is a must.

My next book is on the Greek wine regions. I've been traveling there for the last three years going to many parts of Greece getting beautiful photographs and hanging out with winemaker and chefs in order to deliver another fantastic book called: Exploring Wine Regions – Greece.

I love the quality of The US Review of Books. The reviewers have good insight into book publishing and have given my books detailed attention and great feedback.
