Vigneti

There’s something magical about grape vines in fall, their harvest already collected, the fog off in the distance as winter approaches, and we dream of wines to come.

Complimenti, Giribaldi!

Congrats to our friends in Rodello for this excellent result from a renowned critic.   And yes, this wine is not only fabulous, but a fabulous buy.  If you can find a better Italian red at this price point, we’ll buy your next bottle.  It really is a $60 wine, but it’s priced in the mid-$30s.  Grab it when you see it.

Needless to say, we’re big fans.  Can’t wait to learn more from Mama Isa!

Cheap Airfare

Just sayin…

It doesn’t get much better than that.  Airlines are finally coming to the end of more expensive hedges on fuel and are now able to start passing along some savings to consumers.  Your airfares don’t automatically get lower when your price at the gas station comes down because of the mechanics of how they buy fuel, but we’re starting to see some really good rates.

If you’ve been on the fence about planning a trip for this spring, summer, or fall, now might be the time to strike.
