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; combining wine education, insiders travel guide, and spectacular photography. Higgins again dazzles his audience with another informative and beautiful book. Also, tourism along the central coast of California is unmatched.
