Not much time to snap new pix this week, so I’ll recycle one of my favorites. My first trip to Spain in 2007 left me enchanted. This shot of the #TemplodeDebod might be the best picture I’ve taken. The temple was a gift to Spain from the people of Egypt. And it sits right in downtown Madrid! #wanderlust #Spain #SpainTravel #reflections #lovetotravel #travelphotography
It’s time to shake up your grilling game: @beyondsnp makes pre-soaked cedar planks flavored with #bourbon #Chardonnay #merlot and more. I had fun experimenting with them! New post with all the details is up on the blog! #grillingseason #summersizzle #grilling #wineandfood #healthyeating #grillmaster #summerstaple #winelover
Saturday night’s all right, all right . . . Especially for #Rosado! Looking forward to not analyzing this wine in any way at all. Just sip and relax. Cheers friends! #Jumilla #rosé #garnacha #monastrell #spain #winelover #bodegasolivares
