Happy Sunday, friends! My latest bi-weekly roundup in wine, food, lifestyle, design and travel.


Spotlight on Grüner Veltliner
I have found Grüner to be a little-known but well-appreciated white wine varietal. Those who know it tend to love it. And if you don’t know it, this link tells you all you need!


Top U.S. Food Cities
Check out the Yelp-rated list of top food cities, serving up locations from San Luis Obispo, CA to Asheville, NC, Wilmington NC, and Charleston SC. Asheville took the top spot!


Classic Modernism in Connecticut
A glass house at one with nature. Architect Deborah Berke designed a secondary structure, adjacent to a larger house, created for living and working. It features limited materials and high integration with the landscape.


Surprisingly Affordable Glamour in Monaco
All there is to see and do in Monaco, the tiny and oh-so-alluring principality on the French Riviera.


Fake Bordeaux Fraud Ring
Wine crime drama! About 20 people from France were arrested for producing hundreds of thousands of bottles of fake Bordeaux wine. Major orders had already been placed for this wine, which was destined for multiple countries.


Rosewood + Mozart
The luxury hospitality brand Rosewood is launching its first property in Vienna this month. The hotel is being built inside a historic building that housed an apartment where Mozart once lived and wrote.


August Recipe Roundup
August is one of my favorite food months – berries, corn, stone fruit, and, of course, ripe tomatoes. A roundup of recipes to highlight the best of the season, at the link.
Hope everyone has a wonderful and relaxing rest of the weekend!
