There is nothing quite like mixing your travel with some,
shall we say, elegant decadence. Sure, we often going on and on about how to get outdoors and kayak and hike and
camp…but there are many pleasures to be had in travel that don’t involve sweat and toil. And among these there are
two that we recommend highly: drinking and eating. So where the former is concerned, let me direct you to this fine article over at MSNBC that extols the virtues of the top ten wine regions
on the world. Most of them are abroad, of course, like the famous Loire
Valley in France. Or Andalucía
in Spain. But then there’s California,
easily the most famous and successful wine region in the US.
