Argentina
Exploring Wine Regions – Argentina is our debut book that has won “Best Travel & Wine Book 2016” and “Best Travel Book 2017”. This first book of the series sprung from my personal quest to find out: Why I have never met a Malbec I didn’t like. What is Argentina’s secret to producing the best Malbec?
Argentina offers so much more than the Malbec. Our journey unveiled the Bonarda, Tempranillo and Torrontés just to name a few. And tango. Wow! The most beautiful dance to go with the beauty of their people and landscape. There is so much to see and do here. Jump into all the adventures Argentina has to offer.
Follow us to the top three wine regions of this magnificent country. Mendoza produces extraordinarily great Malbec that put Argentina on the map as the fifth largest wine country in the world. Salta boasts the highest elevation vineyards in the world. And Patagonia makes delicious Pinot Noirs thanks to its cool climate.
Come inside and see firsthand Familia Zuccardi, Valentin Bianchi, Achaval-Ferrer, Bodega Salentein, Humberto Canale, Bodega Colomé, Del Fin Del Mundo, and much more.
A must-have book for those wanting to explore one of the world’s top wine regions. And learn the answers to my burning question.

California
Exploring Wine Regions – California Central Coast is the third book in the series exploring a lesser-known area of the wine regions in California. Most everyone knows of Napa Valley and Sonoma County; however, the Central Coast Wine Regions are producing top-level, high-quality wines, and the tourism is extraordinary.
Twenty million years ago, the Pacific Plate arose from the Pacific Ocean hitting the North American Plate (Canada, United States and Mexico) leaving a sliver of land above the water along California’s coast south of San Francisco. This sliver of land has its own very special terroir highly conducive to making high-quality wines. This book takes you on a journey to discover these amazing wines.
Also, the tourism along the central coast of California is unmatched. The beaches, mountains and valleys are ever so enchanting. The wineries are engaging, have lots of tourism activities available, and are especially inviting and friendly, unlike other wine regions. It’s not uncommon to find the vintner or winemaker at the tasting room wanting to share their stories and their love of wine with you.
Mexico
Tourism in México is outstanding, we all know it. And the Mexican wine regions are no exception. Wine regions are always very beautiful places. Here, the mountains and valleys are ever so enchanting. The wineries are engaging, have lots of tourism activities available, and are especially inviting and friendly with their warm Mexican hospitality. Both connoisseurs and novices turn to this book series for insider information and inspiration. It is a must-have book for expanding your knowledge of México and its Wine.
Are you familiar with Valle de Guadalupe in Baja California? It is a wine region valley inland from Ensenada México, an hour and a half south of the San Diego international border. Valle de Guadalupe enjoys the same marine influence on the wine regions as are occurring along the entire coast of California.
We also explore other wine regions in México. Guanajuato and Querétaro are mountainous regions in central México. Guanajuato is one of the newest up-and-coming wine regions surrounding the charming colonial-style town, San Miguel de Allende with its vibrant wine scene, outdoor markets, artisans, and a very delicious gastronomic scene.
