March 2023 – Wine tasting and lunch at the award winning winery, Morgado do Quintão!
December 2022 – Looking forward to more travels in 2023. Until then Happy Holidays and New Year to all.
June 2022 – Great news! I am here now in Portugal full time. Travel is opening up again and I have made plans to travel to the Lombardy region of Italy later this year to attend this year’s Wine Media Conference.
March 2020: Ok, well plans can change and COVID-19 has upended everyones lives this year. While I await making the move later this year, I continue to taste and sample wines while learning Portuguese. #staysafe #stayhome
Jan 2020: Having retired in Jan. 2018, I am dedicating more of my time to my love of wines and the stories behind them. I continued my food and wine explorations in 2019 with a 10 week trip to Portugal and Italy. I traveled all around Umbria, Tuscany and the Algarve (Portugal). I visited several winemakers 1:1 while in Italy, so check out my reviews here. The wine regions of Portugal are further north than my travel plans so….
I made a 2nd trip to The Algarve in late ’19/early ’20 and returned to the US with the decision to move there full time! I know, exciting right? There are so many wineries to explore in several of the microclimates of Portugal. I can’t wait to start. I also look forward to the food and wine festivals and conferences held annually in Europe.
