Exploring Catalonia’s Notable Olive Groves: A Visit to Cuadrat Valley
At first light, olive trees spread across the Cuadrat Valley in natural rows and clusters. Their deep green leaves catch the morning sun against the warm, earthy tones of the soil beneath them. This tranquil corner of Catalonia lies in northeastern Spain. The land slopes gently inland from the Mediterranean coast and meets the borders... Read More

Greenland is within grasp.
I have mentioned before that during Covid and in total isolation, I busied myself with knitting dementia mitts. It had a threefold use - first it gave me something to do in my solitude. Secondly it passed the hours whilst not feeling guilty about watching too much television at the same time. Thirdly it stopped the temptation to nibble on calorie-rich snacks when I was bored. I have made hundreds of these mitts over the last few years and donated them free of charge to charity shops, care homes and friends, whose relatives needed them. We have even recently been selling them in our local park information centre, as a lot of park visitors have dementia. As soon as I have made a few, I get requests for more. Recently a volunteer I work with at our local foodbank asked if she could have some. She also volunteers at our local hospice and knew they would be useful there. I have in fact donated to this hospice before. So since Christmas I have been knitting like an a

Light Meets Hearty: Schiava Paired with Ham and Lentil Soup
Nestled in the northeastern part of Italy, the Alto Adige produces some of Italy’s most underappreciated wines . It’s a beautiful, serene environment with t he Alpine backdrop looming over the sun-drenched valleys . The Alto Adige, also known as Sudtirol due to its Germanic influences, provides a bicultural experience between Italian and German that is experienced in both the language, food and wines of the region . What I can appreciate about the wines being produced in the Alto Adige is the purity found in the wines . Many of the wines of the region are produced as single varietals, and the winemaker s make efforts to let the grapes shine and to lend that sense of place. The merger of two historic cooperatives that took place in 2001 to form Cantina Bozen shapes the view of how cooperatives can produce world-class wine . With over 200 small local wine growing families all contributing to growing quality grapes to demonstrate the capabi

Complete Guide to Wine Tasting in the Russian River Valley
If you’re a Pinot Noir or Chardonnay lover, chances are you’ve already looked into wine tasting in the Russian River Valley—an AVA within Sonoma wine country that consistently delivers some of my personal favorite wines. Where Is the Russian River Valley? Let’s get a lay of the land first. Sonoma wine country is expansive and made up of many different AVAs and sub-regions. The Russian River Valley is located in northern Sonoma County, about 55 minutes north of San Francisco, and sprawls across several towns including Sebastopol, Forestville, Santa Rosa, Windsor, and Healdsburg. This AVA is relatively close to the coast (which is ideal for growing Burgundian grape varieties), features a wide range of soil types and microclimates, and is, of course, home to the Russian River itself. Cool coastal fog, warm sunny days, and varied terrain all come together to create a truly special place for wine growing. What Kind of Wine Is Made in the Russian River Valley? The Russian River Valley is han
