Traveling for wine? Yes, that! Also, great reads and wines to have with them.
Year 11, No. 08
Greetings,
In this neck of the wine woods, harvest has kinda... sorta... gotten off to a start. It's been another strange year, but mostly because it's taking a lot time for everything to ripen, especially the reds. And this isn't only on the southern side of the Pyrénées as I just got back from Roussillon (report soon to come) and it's the same up there as well.
It's been awhile since the last newsletter as I've been busy making a number of what I hope you'll think to be fantastic changes to the website which will all go live next week. Stay tuned on this front as well as a couple of other great announcements!
In the meantime, here are the latest articles to have run on the site, as well as a series of 'Replay' articles that had been out previously but which we featured again during the second half of August.
Be well, stay well, and chat very, very soon!

FEATURED ARTICLE
Spain is big. Thankfully, there's a very extensive train network covering the country that can allow you to access many wine regions without have to drive or fly. Here we take a look at the routes just in time for enotourism season.

We re-ran a series of articles at the end of August that all focused on the theme of travel and enotourism which hopefully some of us will be able to enjoy again this fall.
