72. Amalfi and Positano. Travel along the Amalfi Coast to visit Positano and Amalfi, Italy.

We start today’s episode driving along the crazy well known Amalfi Coast road to our last location, the city of Amalfi. In this week's episode we are finishing up our 8 day tour from Rome to Amalfi with Intrepid Travel. We were blown away with this city and you will be too when you hear all about it. The town, the beaches, the history and one of our favourite things – the spectacular waterfall hike into the mountains above the city walking through lemon groves, exploring ancient ruins on the side of a crystal clear river and past many waterfalls and then stopped for a cold drink at the most authentic Italian restaurant up in the hills. Our accommodation was a locally owned hotel in the best position in Amalfi – which is one of the things Intrepid Travel pride themselves on and we tell you about the piazza where we were staying, the incredible duomo which dominates the city, the pretty streets full of funky shops and the little hidden places and restaurants we enjoyed – thanks to our lo

Episode 37 - Thank You For Listening and Venetian Bubbly

Sewanee Chester’s life trajectory changes forever when she loses her eye in an accident. Luckily, her acting skills translated beautifully to audio narration and her eye patch didn’t get in her way. Adaku, Sewanee’s best friend, follows through with their longtime dream to become famous actresses together on her own, with her blessing. When famous author June French’s dying wish is for Swannee to read her final work with the mysterious Brock McKnight, she concedes to better her Grandma BlaBla’s living situation. Who is this mysterious man hiding behind the nom de plume, and what will this mean for our leading lady? All I can tell you is that they sipped prosecco together, so we shall too! We are sampling Adami’s Bosco di Gica Prosecco Superiore from the Veneto region of Italy. This made-to-drink-now bubbly elixir is fresh and crisp with notes of apple and peach. Sounds just as light and fun as our story!

Blindflug 122: Der tödliche Tropfen

Ein Gläschen in Ehren, kann niemand verwehren. Diese Weisheit ist längst überholt. Und auch alle Untersuchungen, die einem abendlichen Glas Rotwein eine gesundheitsförderliche Wirkung attestieren sind längst widerlegt. Wirklich? Dieser Artikel in der medizinischen Fachzeitschrift Lancet ist beschreibt die Situation vollkommen anderes. Er ist eine Replik auf eine Kampagne, die sich um eine ziemlich grob verfälschende Publikation herum gebildet hat, die so dermaßen getürkt ist (aber immer wieder zitiert wird), dass man die Absicht förmlich riechen kann.

The Six BEST Wine Books

What are the wine books every wine lover should own? We thought about it. We argued. We drank some wine. Argued some more... And then we decided: let's go for it. No messing around: choose just the six BEST books every wine lover needs, whether enthusiastic newbie or jaded expert. It wasn't easy. But this is the DEFINITIVE listing. A lot of thought and research went into this. Even some reading. Along the way we came across some bits that stopped us in our tracks. Like Hitler's secret wine cellar, 'freak' wines, the link between a dentist's drill and the most expensive bottle of wine ever sold, fish finger sandwiches, some cheeky poetry, the 'one-night-stand' of wines... And of course the quote about the salad and the sex toy 😳 And that's from one of the most reputable voices in wine... In this episode, we heroically save you from the drivel and point you firmly towards the stuff of dreams. We choose the all-time six best wine books - plus six runners up (to make a full case of 12).
