Your Wine Needs a Vacation

Take it someplace nice and show it a good time

Posted: July 20, 2011  By Tim Fish

It’s vacation time in America. France gets the hell out of Dodge in August, but here in the States, July is the month most of us wander off into the hinterland of adventure and sunburn.

For the believers out there—can I get an amen, somebody?—wine has to be part of the vacation-planning process. Let the scoffers drink Coke.

There’s a particular math when it comes to wine and vacation. The formula for how much wine you need to take with you is directly related to the extravagance and location of the trip. If you’re taking a villa in Tuscany or touring Bordeaux, then why schlep a bottle?

On the other hand, there are vacations that require mass quantities of wine, for example, if camping is involved or Disneyland is on the itinerary. (You can’t shuffle off to Burgundy every summer.)

On the Road to Colorado

Dining options between San Francisco and Aspen are much better than they used to be

Posted: July 6, 2011  By Harvey Steiman

Finding a good place to eat on our annual drives to and from our summer apartment in Aspen, 1,200 miles from San Francisco, used to be a challenge. Our original route, once past the beautiful Sierra Nevada range, took us across the bleak northern half of Nevada, past the Salt Flats of Utah, through the Wasatch Range and across I-70 to Colorado. It pretty much left good food behind at Reno.

Driving through Las Vegas adds only about 50 extra miles to our route and represents a vast improvement in food and scenery. Three years ago we discovered a friendly wine bar in Grand Junction where we look forward to a glass of good wine and creative food at the end of the day's drive.
