The Oltrepo Pavese – Milan’s Secret Wine Region

January 10, 2018 by Stef Smulders2 Comments

oltrepo pavese wine region

Though frequently called the Tuscany of the North of Italy, the Oltrepò Pavese in Lombardy, only 40 miles south of Milan, is fairly unknown abroad. Tourists pass the area closely when travelling to the real Tuscany, to Umbria or further south. This is a pity as the Oltrepò really offers something worthwhile for almost every tourist, especially food and wine lovers. The area offers smooth hills, medieval villages and castles, panoramic views, … [Read more...]

Good Beer, Good Cheer: 200 Years of Stuttgart’s Cannstatter Volksfest

November 26, 2017 by Tom Bentley3 Comments

It’s a fine feeling to be a stranger at a big party and feel fully welcome. It’s an even better feeling when everybody at the party seems like they are having the time of their lives. And if the party goes on for 17 days straight, well, I guess that’s 17 days of good feelings—though you might want to nap now and then. In Stuttgart, Germany, they’ve been having a whale of a party for a mere 200 years or so. I was just at the 199th year, and … [Read more...]

Enoversity: The Best Wine Tasting Class in Chicago

November 9, 2017 by Jaime Scilingo MazurLeave a Comment

Chicago is Bon Appetit's 2017 Restaurant City of the Year.  While the magazine gives a list of multiple restaurants worth visiting, it makes no mention of cocktails or drinks.  Perhaps it is because I live here and am spoiled by the great food, but I am always on the hunt for a well-priced wine or cocktail bar.  For people like Dave who is trying to visit every winery in the world famous Napa Valley, finding a decent wine tasting is not a … [Read more...]

Wine Tasting in Thies Senegal

October 18, 2017 by Dave7 Comments

With only two wineries in the country, our wine tasting options during our visit were somewhat limited. I reached out to both producers – one a grape producer with a small vineyard outside of Dakar (Le Clos des Baobabs) and the other a fruit wine producer (Vin du Sahel Winery) in Thies, the “second city” of Senegal – about 90 mins by car from Dakar. The founders of Vin du Sahel Winery, Joe Sambou (along with his wife Kim) have multicultural … [Read more...]

A long weekend exploring Geneva

October 15, 2017 by SallyLeave a Comment

My idea of a good way to spend a bank holiday weekend is none other than jet setting off to a foreign land. My best friend was traveling in Italy and Switzerland, so I decided to meet her in Geneva for 3 days. Let me start off by saying that Geneva is not cheap. Ranked as the most expensive city in Europe, anywhere you go for food or drinks, is generally overpriced. So if you’re a backpacker on a budget, Geneva (and the majority of … [Read more...]

Warren, Ohio: A Weekend Getaway Back Thru Time!

October 5, 2017 by Jennifer MartinekLeave a Comment

In the State of Ohio, between Cleveland and Youngstown, sits the City of Warren.  Don't bother looking for it - you won't find it on any map. Unless, of course, your checking for the weather on the 6 o'clock news! After spending an afternoon in Warren, it's easy to see that there is so much more to this city than meets the eye. From the Packard museum to the Trumbull Art gallery, restaurants and bars, the Ampitheatre and Mosquito Lake State … [Read more...]
