Our Story

​I like to take notes.
Whether it's related to my job or what I'm doing on vacation, I find note taking helps me remember important information for the future. Throughout the years, I have had the wonderful opportunity to travel with my family to many wineries in my own backyard as well as abroad. Everywhere I go, I take copious notes - what we liked about the place, my favorite wines from the tasting, and the interesting facts we learned along the way. I created this wine and travel blog partially because my children were bugging me to digitize my notes and to help future wine travelers in their journeys. We hope this information gives you valuable insights about wine itself, where to plan your next wine experience or which tour to consider.
