Wine Tour 2012

M and I are semi-eligible for an academically and spiritually (most importantly, all compensated) tour of France. If by some miserable misfortune we aren't selected, we have a back-up plan to go anyways. Below is MY suggestion for our tour.

via Glut with Guts

Stop 1: Portugal--Vino Verde to refresh our wine tasting palate 
Stop 2: Madrid--Pay homage with some Rioja Sangria!
Stop 3: Bordeaux--Drinking buckets of red, Bordeaux of course
Stop 4: Paris--Anything that goes with crusty croissants
Stop 5: Amsterdam--Don't be mistaken, this is a wine tour! Frühburgunder from Gelderland

This wouldn't be a blog for gluttons if we didn't include a culinary overview of pairings for our wine:

Saving my pennies and dimes until then!

How lovely is this wine lounge? I need to make note to add one of these to my future home!

Fatty's Food-venture

Hello again,

It's me Minna. It's been a while, hasn't it? Read about my Fatty Food-ventures over at my other blog, Glut with Guts, recently updated after my trip to the Chicago Food Film Festival.

Yes, indeed. My photo taking/shopping skills need work...

World View

I saw this hilarious illustration on how various countrymen view Europe.

Europe according to the French

Europe according to the Brits

Europe according to Americans

Find the rest of the hilarious illustrations of stereotypes here.
