The winter edition of the Wine Trail Traveler Quarterly was just released. It is now available at http://winetrailtraveler.com/newsletter/magwinter1213.pdf.

This issue is filled with photos from our recent visit to wineries in North Carolina. North Carolina offers delightful wineries large and small but all with delightful experiences and stories.

We were able to include a visit to Biltmore Estates that also includes the most visited winery in the United States. One North Carolina winery has a unique connection with llamas. Check out the llama photo we took while at Divine Llama Vineyards.

While in North Carolina we asked wineries for recipes that use wine as one of the ingredients. Three recipes we collected are in the Quarterly.

Since our fall edition of the Quarterly, we have published our first book, A Wine Journey. Frequently people have asked us questions about our first experience publishing a book, so we have included answers to several questions.

Winter is the time for Icewines. Our Icewine article provides insight into the production of Icewine and provides  information about Icewine festivals for 2013.

Meghan Neumeier has written an article in her Wine in the Bible series. This time she explores why Daniel refused wine from King Nebuchadnezzar.

We hope you enjoy this winter edition.

Cheers!
Kathy and Terry
