April 21, 2018 by Steve Mirsky2 Comments

When exploring the vast open spaces of the Western United States, millions of travelers visit iconic National Parks like the Grand Canyon or Yosemite. For the uninitiated, Death Valley National Park may appear to simply be a wasteland with record breaking temperatures famous for frying eggs on blacktop. But dig deeper and you have one of the country’s largest National Parks with extremely comfortable daytime winter and early spring temperatures … [Read more...]

Taking Advantage of Bright Sun in Belfast Before the Rain Sets In

September 21, 2015 by DaveLeave a Comment

Upon landing in Belfast, Northern Ireland (or as some might say, 'Nord Iron') I was pleasantly surprised to see some sun peeking through the clouds. Coming from bright sunny days in Spain this past week with warm temperatures I had braced myself for brisk cloudy days and bone chilling nights. I felt welcomed on the bus ride into town; a gentleman facing me in another seat kept smiling my way - talking to the lady he was with and nodding in my … [Read more...]

A Place to Unwind: The Ranch at Rock Creek, Montana

October 25, 2014 by DaveLeave a Comment

There are places in the world that are immediately inspirational based entirely on their natural beauty - I would count the wide open spaces of Montana as one of these inspirational destinations. I remember my trip to Montana a number of years ago, driving the open roads in the Northwest part of the State from Glacier National Park down to Missoula. I was impressed by the countryside, the jagged rocky faces of the mountains in Glacier National … [Read more...]

Drink It All In With A Guide To Telluride’s Best Spots For Imbibing

September 11, 2013 by DaveLeave a Comment

TELLURIDE, Colo. (September 10, 2013) – In the early 1900s, 35 establishments existed for thirsty drinkers to belly up to the bar in Telluride. Despite the front pages of the local newspapers, The Daily Journal and San Miguel Examiner reporting the town would “abide strictly by the law no matter what the loss”, you could get a drink just about anywhere, including the courthouse. When the taps went dry, speakeasies and soda parlors took over … [Read more...]

Peace, Love and Vodka

March 7, 2013 by Allison Tibaldi1 Comment

The Woodstock Festival took place in New York State’s Catskill Mountains in 1969. Whether you lived through it or were born decades later, Woodstock is the stuff of legends, three days of peace, love and music. Rock and roll giants such as Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Who, Grateful Dead and many other icons preformed. Though called Woodstock, the concert didn’t actually take place in the town of Woodstock. It took place in the rural community … [Read more...]

September 14, 2011 by Dave1 Comment

We recently had the honor and rare privilege to sit down with Peter Mondavi Sr., long time proprietor of Napa's oldest winery, Charles Krug. Mr. Mondavi is 98 years young. We talked about history of course because when you've been in Napa as long as Peter Mondavi Sr. you have plenty to discuss. But we also covered the types of wines being produced today and how they differ from the wines he started out producing in the 1940's, not to mention his … [Read more...]

Death Valley, CA

by Dave · 10 Comments

Death Valley is a very unique and fascinating park. It is a land of stark contrasts and great natural extremes. It is the largest national park in the lower 48 states and as a national park, only dates from 1994. Synonymous with California - a small part of the park is actually in the state of Nevada. Death Valley National Park is 3.4 million acres - as a result visitors need at least 3-4 days to get a "feel" for the park and to visit and … [Read more...]
