France is definitely known for their wines.

Some of the best wines that come from various regions in France include: Champagne, Burgundy wine, and Bordeaux wine.

Hometown Favorites: The Emotional Side of Chocolate
Wed, 06 Aug 2008 11:02:59 PDT
From Required Eating The front case at a L'Etoile D'Or in Paris, possibly the best chocolate shop in the world. A couple of years ago after giving a chocolate tasting, I was approached by a husband and wife from the audience who boldly announced to me, "We know what the best chocolate in the world is." Naturally, I was intrigued, so I asked the name (which I do not remember) and had to admit that I'd never heard of the place, which was in a small town near Turin, Italy. As I'd never been to
Boxed Wine Revolution in Italy
Wed, 06 Aug 2008 10:00:39 PDT
From Required Eating The New York Times reports that some fine government-approved Italian wine will, for the first time, be sold in boxes instead of bottles. Italy’s Agriculture Ministry is now offering its D.O.C. designation, which verifies the product’s origin, for some boxed wines. Worry not—the more rarefied D.O.C.G. seal is still reserved for bottles. Boxed wine has been around for several decades and over the years has gotten better and earned more respect.

Jump to the full entry & travel map Buenos Aires, Capital Federal District, Argentina We landed in Buenos Aires just as the southern hemisphere´s winter hit. The city was cold, damp, and quite an adjustment for us. The variable amounts of daylight hours has seemed odd to us during most of our trip. In Minnesota, when it´s warm, it´s light until 8 or 9 PM. Not so in the tropics. Now, in Argentina, we are getting used to 9-10 hours of daylight. Buenos Aires was very easy to
A Cold Wind Blows
Wed, 06 Aug 2008 07:38:51 PDT
One of the benefits of being in the wine industry is access to the producers who bring us the wine that we love. Mostly this takes the form of what we used to call “dog and pony” shows which are not geared toward delivering information beyond the essential sales pitch, but even at these sales driven events you can usually glean some sort of additional insight. Better, though, are the non sales specific events where producers speak technically, from the heart, or both. I had the pleasure of att
