looking to travel? looking to explore your inner wino? looking to taste good food, stay in beautiful resorts, see beautiful sights, and get to know the locals? aren’t we all?
fear not, my friends. wine enthusiast magazine has just released their 10 best wine destinations of 2013.
on the list?
Rioja, Spain Danube, Austria North & South Forks of Long Island, New York Stellenbosch, South Africa Monterey County, California Vale dos Vinhedos, Brazil Willamette Valley, Oregon Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia Douro Valley, Portugal Puglia, Italythe list looks good. the places look beautiful. i’m sure the wine is some of the best i would ever taste. the best part about wine enthusiast’s article? they take us to each location individually (click on the names of the cities above). in each city they give an outline of where to eat, where to stay, and where to taste. when to go, the prominent wines of the area, a tip for something to do on a budget, and a list of other activities to do in the city! BRILLIANT, if you ask me.
the brilliance behind the barrel. 
Mariah – Would love to travel to all of these places to try out the wines! Keep up the great work on your wine blog!! Love, Mom
