Michael Higgins is quite unique in the world of wine. He has published three photo journals on three popular wine-growing regions of the world. Starting in Argentina, he sets out to bring to the readers a comprehensive view of the region, people and wineries. But he adds an important twist to his books. He explains where, who and what each winery is; what to look for there, where to eat, and provides amazing photos to support his viewpoints. These are not your regular travel books.

Since he published the book on Argentina, he has exposed the famed district of Bordeaux, France and rolling hills of the Central Coast of California. Soon to publish is the book on Mexicos wine country and soon after, his take on the Greek wine culture.

Frankly, anyone that travels to any of the destinations in his books, must take it along; but there is more...you can buy the digital version and have it at your fingertips while in the wine countryside of your choosing (better than lugging around a 100 page volume).

Wine Talks caught up with Dr. Michael in-between tours of Mexico and Greece. You will raise an eyebrow to what you hear.
