Back on the Road

The Week In Review

After a long weekend of drinking, eating and drinking (I mean tasting), the GOW team are back at it.

After a long weekend of drinking, eating and drinking (I mean tasting), the GOW team are back at it. Anthony heads down to Sonoma this week, is busy prepping for a trip to Australia next month and I'm working out upcoming travels for Italy. With fall's cooler weather, it's a good time to stay in and tuck into a warming red and a good book. I updated The Library this week with my favourite wine resource, Wine Grapes. Leafing through the 1368 wine grape varieties should take you into next spring. You can follow our fall travel and tastes on Instagram @GismondiOnWine.
