Hi there! We’re Romy and Doug! We are “new” empty nesters and have ramped up our travel – eating and drinking along the way. We have always loved travel and now that our son is away in college, we’re doing our best to travel more. We’re hitting the road locally in state (California), nationally, and international. We have a pretty busy slate scheduled already for the first half of 2024 – Santa Barbara (wine fest), Paso Robles (wineries and hotel coverage), Mendicino (2 hotel coverage and activities), potential Caribbean cruise, Germany countryside (beer fest, wine fest..), and Portugal river cruise. Whew.. We better get packing!

A Few Accomplishments

We both have our WSET Level 2 Award in Wines !

  • Doug with Merit
  • Romy with Distinction (of course!!)
