Part of what makes Tim and me excited for our next trip are all the adventure activities we get to experience. And all the different types of wine we end up savoring, of course. We’re definitely not as nimble as we were 10 years ago, but that has never stopped us from finding the next […]
Bordeaux in 365 Bottles: June 2017
This month marked one year since I moved to Bordeaux. And what a year it was. At times I felt like that year flew by, yet it also feels like I’ve lived a lifetime in the last year. I was never under any misconceptions that moving to a foreign country would be easy. But I […]
Chateau Kirwan: Taste Fine Vintages as Old as 1967
Margaux, once a marshland, is almost entirely a winemakers’ town these days. While the tiny village is so quiet it almost seems abandoned, the sea of vines that fans out in very direction is constantly bustling with activity. Home to some of Bordeaux’s most sensual and alluring wines, Margaux producers secured more châteaux as inclusions […]
Ghorepani: Trekking the Foothills of Annapurna
Nepal. The very murmur of this landlocked country’s name elicits images of haggard mountaineers practically dragging their weary and oxygen deprived bodies up the Himalayas for that view of Everest, or even Annapurna. Home to an incredible eight of the world’s 14 highest mountains with their craggy peaks seemingly reaching the heavens at over 8000 […]
Wonder Woman’s Themyscira Actually Exists
If you’ve been to see the new Wonder Woman, the scenes shot in the fictional Themyscira surely have you swooning for your next vacation. Or at the very least, wondering where on earth you might find the Themyscira filming locations, which Zeus also called the Paradise Island. Themyscira actually does exist in real life. Sort […]
Dwarika’s Hotel: Luxury and Culture in Kathmandu
Nepal and luxury aren’t two words that are typically synonymous with each other. In fact, I was met with a raised eyebrow by anyone I announced that I was off to Nepal to. It felt like a challenge to seek out luxury in a country with a reputation for two extremes: the perfect destination for […]
Week-end des Grands Crus Bordeaux
Every April hundreds of journalists, wine experts and wine merchants descend upon Bordeaux for En Primeur. It’s the event where the wine world gets their first taste of the most recent vintage, straight out of the barrel. While it’s a fascinating couple of days tasting wine until your teeth and fingers are quite literally stained […]
Bordeaux in 365 Bottles: May 2017
It’s ironic I write my latest edition of Bordeaux in 365 Bottles today. Because exactly eight years ago today, Tim, Emma, Angel and I started our journey to move to Italy. It took us four days to move the animals by airplane, since there are strict temperature regulations and regulations for hours animals can actually […]
Wine Tasting on an Arcachon Bay Cruise
Bordeaux is world-famous for its wine. But the French, even the Europeans really, have been keeping a secret. Bordeaux isn’t just fabulous because it produces some of the best wine in the world. It’s a city well positioned and a stone’s throw from several of France’s most beautiful natural wonders, including one of our favorites: […]
Château d’Agassac: One of the Oldest Château in the Médoc
Just 15 minutes from Bordeaux, a castle surrounded by a moat is so picture-perfect it looks as though it was plucked from just about any Disney princess fairy tale and plopped in to the Médoc. That castle is Château d’Agassac, one of the oldest château in the Médoc. Not only is Château d’Agassac one of […]
