Guess you can say my husband and I are food and wine enthusiasts, to put it mildly. When traveling we build our whole trip around wine and food. This website will be about everything to do with the wine and food lifestyle including: travel, news, dining, interviews, opinion, history, culture, even Formula One auto racing and other sports and things with just a bit of humor thrown in. I will never hold back, good or bad, in any article. Please join me for WineFoodChat — relax and pour yourself a glass of wine!

Cheers then Enjoy,
