The Wine Road Less Traveled goes International!

The observant reader may have noticed the dearth of posts for... well, almost a year now. In the roller coaster that is life, it has been an eventful year. I moved from Colorado to California to work for a winery for 6 months, and I found it hard to keep up the blog after writing about wine all day.

I have been back in Aspen for a few months, and I haven't had the excuse of writer's burn out, so what has been keeping me from these pages? Planning. I have been working out the details for the adventure of a lifetime. My wife and I are taking a year off and going around the world, starting next week, June 1st.

The good news for my readers is that I will be visiting wine countries for about half of that time. Expect reports from Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, and Greece. Then in 2009 look for first hand accounts from Chile and Argentina.

Interested in keeping up with our adventures? My wife and I have put up a whole blog site along with copious photos (well, only a few for now, but we haven't left yet). You can find it here: www.jsrtw.com.

I have been writing and many of you have been reading this blog for a little over 3 years and nearly 100 posts. I still have plenty more to learn about wine, and as I learn it, you can be sure I will be sharing it with you.
