Cruising on Cunard's Queen Elizabeth, and Article Updates

After a two-week break from posting here, I’m back. On July 4th, I left for what was easily one of the single best travel experiences I’ve ever had: A cruise, on Cunard’s majestic Queen Elizabeth, to the fjords and waterfalls of Norway. I’ll be writing extensively about it in the coming weeks and months, but for now, the best way to sum up the experience is: Take everything you’ve heard about the professionalism, history, luxury, and overall perfection of Cunard's reputation, magnify it by 100, and you’re just starting to get close. It was a paradigm-shifting experience, to say the least. Stay tuned for more.

While I was gone, a number of columns and articles I wrote ran in various outlets. Here are the links:

Travel: Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. Published in John Mariani’s Virtual Gourmet.

Drinks: The benefits of diluting your alcohol, and wines for the heatwave we’re muddling through, both published in CityDrinks, at CityEats Philly. And Amapola Creek Zinfandel and Gerard Bertrand Gris Blanc Rosé, both published in The Good Life Report.
