Happy Easter Sunday! Sharing my favorite finds in wine, food, lifestyle, design, and travel this week. Elevated Easter eats, a ride on Italy’s La Dolce Vita Orient Express, prosecco’s bubble boom, and more…
Viva La Vita
Italy’s La Dolce Vita Orient Express train has debuted! With 12 refurbished 1960s carriages, including suites and dining curated by Michelin-starred chef Heinz Beck, the train provides an immersive experience of Italy’s “sweet life.”
Prosecco’s Bubble Boom
As Prosecco’s popularity continues to soar, Champagne is seeing a slowdown, especially in the U.S. market. While both sparkling wines have distinct identities, shifting consumer preferences and economic pressures may be reshaping the bubbly hierarchy.
Midcentury Dream Pad
Love original houses like this one — a stunning 1955 midcentury modern home in Pasadena that has hit the market. With original features like post-and-beam construction, expansive glass walls, and a lush garden setting, the house perfectly captures California’s architectural legacy.
Elevated Easter Eats
A collection of Easter appetizers highlights vibrant spring flavors and elegant presentation. My standout is the Spiced Carrots with Whipped Feta — so yummy looking!
Booze Brand Bosses
This marries two of my loves — branding and booze! It explores how certain beverage brands can become synonymous with their drink categories, effectively dominating the market.
Jet-Set and Savor
The best in airport dining! Airport dining in the U.S. has evolved, offering travelers a culinary experience with a focus on local specialties and celebrity-backed restaurants. Major airports like Atlanta, Seattle, and Miami are called out in this link.
First Class Envy
Since I live in Charlotte, an American Airlines hub, I’m tied to them — but it’s hard not to envy what international carriers are doing. Airlines like Lufthansa and Air France are bringing back ultra-luxurious first-class cabins, raising the bar on in-flight comfort with private suites and fine dining. So lovely!
Hope you’re having a fantastic Sunday — enjoy the rest of your weekend!
