You sit down at a nice restaurant and are presented the wine list. You might ask for a few recommendations and finally settle upon a bottle to order. Before you know it, your waiter is proudly presenting the bottle to you and pours just a tasting amount in the glass with a flourish. If you’re […]
Unforgettable Winter Adventures in Swedish Lapland
Swedish Lapland is magical in the winter. Snow that sparkles like a sea of diamonds, spotting herds of reindeer, trees so heavy with snow that they dip precariously toward the ground, and green curtains dancing across the night sky. There’s a thrill to stepping off the plane at the tiny airport and spotting the negative […]
8 Types of Italian Coffees, Explained
Ordering coffee in Italy isn’t as simple as queueing up at your local Starbucks. First, Italians are unfamiliar with the concept of a queue.

But the South of France isn’t all yacht parties and champagne until the wee hours. The Ardeche has a decidedly […]
Wine Wednesday: Super Bowl Wine Pairings
Are you ready for some football?! As a non-football-loving and non-beer-drinking spouse that has been dragged to her fair share of Super Bowl Sunday parties, drinkable wines are my key to surviving the hootin’ and hollerin’ game day. Wine isn’t just for pairing with a perfectly pink filet or an aromatic herb crusted lamb chop. […]
Why Abisko is the Best Place in Europe to See Northern Lights
We frequently receive emails, to the tune of several each week, asking where the best place in Europe to see Northern Lights is.
