April 25, 2021 by Bruce Leave a Comment

Wine travel is a great way to experience wine more deeply. I’ve had the good fortune of visiting wineries in three countries – Canada, France, and Uruguay – so far. It might not be wise to travel abroad as I write this (April 2021), but we can research and plan for a post winery trip.

Choose the best wine glasses for your home can add to your wine experience. In my experience, choosing the wine itself for your situation is 80% of the experience. The remaining 20% is the serving experience which includes the glass.
