How to Wine Taste in Italy Without Breaking the Bank
When planning my trip to Italy the number one thing I wanted to do was visit an Italian winery. However, this was more challenging than I expected. My girlfriend, Morgan, and I had originally booked a tour to the Chianti wine region but once we got there it was canceled due to All Saints’ Day. We weren’t quite sure what to do next.

Failed first attempt Originally I went through a tour company and scheduled a wine tour with a cooking class for about $100 each. This included transportation to…

Why first time visitors should visit Sonoma County over Napa Valley

My four favorite boutiques
When you’re in need of new clothes do you prefer to shop at big brands like Target and Forever 21 or small boutiques which may have been beautified by this company? Some of the shops are similar to those at the Shop front installation London, where I used to shop almost exclusively at big brands. I felt smaller boutiques were more expensive and did not carry what I needed. However, as I have gotten older those ideas have drastically changed. In a recent purging of my closet I discovered that my wardrobe is made up of mostly boutique items and the ones I was donating were all from big brands.…
