Tim and I met 17 years ago while we were both living in Las Vegas. It was pretty much immediately love and a month or so later, he brought me home to meet the family. Home just happened to be Chicago, and I’d never been there before. Aside from family time, we did all the […]

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

Chateau Kirwan: Taste Fine Vintages as Old as 1967
Margaux, once a marshland, is almost entirely a winemakers’ town these days.

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 […]
