I have just returned from a whirlwind 3 weeks abroad: 1 week in Burgundy, 1 week in Fontainebleau and 4 days in Tel Aviv/Jerusalem. I rode a bike through Premier Cru vines in Pommard, ate grapes off the recently harvested vines in Volnay and celebrated my birthday in a gorgeous restaurant in Puligny filled with
My two lovely friends got married last Monday in London with 20 of their closest friends from around the world looking on. Our troupe was then shuttled into cabs, whisked away to the Champagne bar at St Pancras station and herded into Coach 15 on the Eurostar bound for Paris. After a quick transfer to
I’m just returning from 6 lovely days on the beautiful island of Santorini. For those of you that have been before, we stayed in Pyrgos which is away from the major tourist areas of Fira and Ia. Major bonus was that, without planning it, we ended up right in the middle of fields of vines!

I did something not-so-common last weekend. I spent a very pleasant Friday, Saturday and Sunday getting to know a wine estate in the south of England.

We had a truly lovely trip to Leavenworth, WA over the holidays. If you have never been and you live in Seattle or nearby – go. It is a cute little German themed (ahem, yes it is a ‘themed’ town, aimed to attract tourists and not a whole lot else) in the mountains near Stevens
I love Oregon wines…and Oregon in general actually. Beautiful, green and lots of open spaces. Plus they make a KILLER pinot noir. Its been a few years since I’ve been back there but given my most recent experience with their produce, I desperately need to make it back. I went to visit Scott Paul’s tasting
Today our little party train jet off to Leavenworth, WA for a few days of respite…and wine tasting!!! Leavenworth has an incredible little strip of kitschy shops and restaurants (following the Bavarian theme that the town is famous for) as well as some great local wineries – all neatly stacked together on the 1/2 mile
Just discovered an interesting approach to the wine business – set up a facility in the middle of a city full of wealthy entrepreneurs, silicon valley-esque millionaires where the more eccentric of the lot can make their own wine. Dogpatch WineWorks (http://www.dpwineworks.com) is doing just that. They leave their model open to some interpretation however
