Repetition or Reinforcement

February 3, 2012 – 1:34 pm

Wednesday marked the last day for the 2012 International Wine Tourism Conference in Perugia, Italy. An issue raised by some was what appeared to be a repetition of content between the presenters. I’d like to put forth a different take on what may have appeared as repetition. Speakers were from all over the world. Some […]

It didn’t take long for me to dive into the mixing of ingredients for the flatbread. After mixing the dough, we placed the dough under glass bowls until we were […]

Vina Croatia

January 31, 2012 – 4:38 pm

The informal wine tasting at the 2012 IWINETC allowed for tasting what you had a fancy for. In my case, varietal grapes previously not tasted. Once again, my notes will be haikus. Graševina, Kutjevo […]

Evening Dinner Wines FAM Day 1

January 29, 2012 – 2:15 am
