| The beginning of my love for sparkling wine | |||
| Written by gaiamycat | |||
| In 1977 I traveled to Europe with two of my closest friends, Dan and Marc. We were all 20 or 21 years old and this was our first trip to another country with the exception of Mexico or Canada. Marc's father owned a high end liquor store in the San Fernando Valley that specialized in wines, so he carried a pocket full of business cards that opened a lot of doors when traveling through France. The most memorable time we had was in Reims, not too far from Paris where we took a tour of the Mumm facility which is a world famous producer of champagne. When Marc flashed his business card, we were escorted out of the waiting tour group and were given a private tour with the assistant wine maker. We went to a private room where she opened a bottle of Rene Lalou, which at the time was their top of the line brand. All of the rest of the tour group had Cordon Rouge, no slouch of a champagne, but no Rene Lalou either! At the end of the bottle which the 3 of us shared, we were given the bottle as a souvenir. I somehow managed, perhaps fueled by the alcohol, to persuade her to give us also some of the ash trays that were in the waiting room as additional souvenirs. The ash trays have the Cordon Rouge logo on them and one of them resides in my curio cabinet to this day to remind me of that great experience. Now that I live in the wine country of California, I always manage to go to as many of the sparkling wine houses as I can to try and recapture that moment of my youth. Nothing like those bubbles.... | |||
| A New Beginning | |||
| Written by ichytus | |||
| Since this is my first entry and i assume other people are reading it, I would like to talk about the country where I now live. I came to Israel as a tourist and apart from visits to North America, I have stayed ever since. If a person is not of a heavy religous persuasion or molded by some zionist theology, I srael takes a special cultivated taste to endure and really enjoy the country. I cannot honestly say that I do not love the country as a whole but rather I am passionate about the region I live. I live in the North, next to the Sea of Galilee. The magic in the air transports to a time in the States when I was a child growing up in the early sixties. Everyone knows everyone and beach towns are beach towns. The wierd pard on a technology base, my area is more advanced than most. I live in Tiberias. and I am heavily involved with tourism in and out of the area. Having said, I invite anyone to PM me if they need any assistance in planning to come here. It is my wish by joining this travel community to share some of my experiences in the Galilee and as well, with your indulgence talk about some of the more really special sites in the area. Till the next time, this is me saying "Shalom" | |||

| Written by Yukongold4me | |||
| Remember, when you are travelling this Holiday Season, that everyone is stressed to the max and in a hurry to get where they are headed. So paste on that happy face, slow down to a snail's pace and make the best of it. The more happy, unharried travellers there are, the better all our experiences will be. And like the mythical tortoise.... we will get to the finish line.... | |||
