My latest Sunday Seven – a bi-weekly roundup in wine, food, lifestyle, design and travel.
Russia’s Absurd Stance on Champagne
The most absurd thing – I can’t even wrap my head around this! Putin passed a new law that ignores France’s appellations for champagne and rules that only domestically produced shampanskoye is only worthy of the prestigious name. Bizarre.
Hangover Helpers
A subject I have spent quite a lot of time on! This article touts two new products that don’t quite help the hangover once you have it, but do help people drink smarter.
Light Summer Lunches
With summer weather comes the desire for lightening up what we eat. Fresh vegetables, cold salads, delicate dressings, and dreams of grilling are on the menu! Some light lunch recipes at the link.
A Suite Airport Experience
A new elevated social space for travelers coming through LAX features an expansive outdoor garden and top-shelf food and drinks. Guests will also have access to perks like expedited TSA screening on departure.
Gender Options on U.S. Passports
On the last day of Pride month, the State Department announced its plan to make it easier for transgender and nonbinary people to move around the planet. Passport applicants will now be able to self-select their gender without providing medical certification.
Dying Over Ina Garten’s Garden
Take a tour of Ina Garten’s beautiful gardens in East Hampton, New York. Her outdoor living space is nothing short of absolutely dreamy!
West Village Family Dwelling
A New York City couple with three young children created a home for all ages in the West Village – and there is no bit of underused space in this beauty.
Hope everyone has a wonderful and relaxing rest of the weekend!
