Hirsch & Parr to bring In Pursuit of Balance to Houston in early 2015

Do Bianchi

It was really fun to sit down with Sonoma Coast producer Jasmine Hirsch yesterday at 60 Degrees Mastercrafted in Houston where she led a guided tasting of her wines for collectors.

In my view, hers is one of the most dynamic voices in American wine today.

She revealed to me that she and Raj Parr are bringing the controversial In Pursuit of Balance festival to Houston next year. It’s another sign that Houston is becoming one of the leading wine destinations in the U.S.

The festival and the new stop on its tour are the topics for my post today for the Houston Press.

Day Trip to Gran Sasso

We are thinking about adding hiking adventure to our list of tours. Gran Sasso is one of highest peaks near Rome and at about 2 hr drive away it is a great excursion for a day out in nature.

Excursion to Nemi

We think any excursion to the Castelli Romani must include the gorgeous town and lake of Nemi. It is a very magical mysterious place!!

It is also famous for strawberries

I recently visited Tbilisi in the Republic of Georgia for a food and wine trip. My main goal was to visit the incredible food market there. It was a plethora of colors, aromas and tastes. You can read about it by clicking on this link.
