Visiting Iguazú Falls
I had previously posted about our three day trip to Mendoza which was fantastic. On day 1, I also mentioned briefly about Buenos Aires where you have to fly into in order to get to Mendoza from the United States.

Mendoza – Day 3
We had already enjoyed two wonderful days in Mendoza with Day 1 giving us a great introduction to Mendoza and Day 2 letting us harvest and blend Nice Winery’s Malbec.

Fredericksburg Road Trip and Wine Festival
This has been a wine festival autumn for us. We have attended two wine festivals and volunteered to pour wine at two other wine festivals and that is a record for us.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles…and Some Wine
I took a very quick trip to New York City to watch the NFL season opener between the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys. I may live in Texas but I was raised in upstate New York so I have always been a die-hard Giants fan. The purpose of this quick post is not aboutRead More
