I just happened to be vacationing in Greece during this World Wine Travel event, in which Camilla of Culinary Cam invited us to explore up-and-coming wine regions. I was not too familiar with Greek wines, but I did know that Santorini is the most popular wine region. I decided to explore Greek Wines outside of Santorini.
I love sharing wine with you, and since I am visiting France today for our World Wine Travel event celebrating Valentine's Day, I thought I would let you know in French.
Our administrator for World Wine Travel, Camilla of Culinary Cam, asked us to share the sips and nibbles we enjoyed during our Summer Travels.
Many years ago, before I began blogging. Before the age of cell phones and portable computers. Back when you used a camera with film that had to be taken in for development. Way back then, we met our friends Keith and Kim in the Finger Lakes Region of New York for a Murder Mystery tour of the area wineries.
Today I want to share with you a little hidden gem that I found right in my neck of the woods. Welcome to Youngblood Vineyards located in Ray Township, Michigan.
The World Wine Travel group is gathering this month to discuss Hybrid wines. These are wines made by crossing two grapes to make a new varietal. In Michigan, we have many hybrid grapes. Native to our State are Riverbank Grapes, most often used as ground cover or as food for birds and small animals. They can also be turned into jams and are safe for human consumption.
We had friends over for dinner last night to celebrate the season. We started the festivities with appetizers and a bottle of Dominio de Los Duques Cava. Spain's answer to Champagne. Just as crisp, dry and delicious, and much more affordable.
Our World Wine Travel Group has been exploring South America in 2023. This month we were invited to open a bottle of Carmenere.

I am in full-on Halloween mode here on the Farm. All Hallows Eve is right around the corner and I have been making lots of fun foods and meals to celebrate. When I was lucky enough to receive a bottle of Trapiche Cabernet from Mendoza Argentina for this month's World Wine Travel, I wanted to continue the celebration.
This creamy, delicious Brazilian Shrimp Stew in Coconut Sauce, is made in only one pan and ready in less than an hour.
The World Wine Travel Group is heading back to Uruguay this month. I decided to open a Torrontes from Bodega Pisano.
This sauce is sooooo good that I had to stop myself from eating it with a spoon so that there was enough left for guests to enjoy with their steaks. Sweet Vidalia onion caramelized in butter and then combined with Blue Cheese and Cream for a decadent, savory sauce.
I was in Costco buying chickens to put on the rotisserie for Father's Day when I spotted this bottle of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc. A quick check of the label confirmed it was from the Coastal Region of Limari. Perfect for this month's World Wine Travel event.
I make a lot of Enchiladas in this house as it is a favorite of our youngest child who still lives at home. This recipe, found at TASTE, is reported to have been passed down through the generations of families that arrived in California during the years of 1769 and 1833when the Missions were established.
I received 3 lovely bottles of wine from Veramonte as samples of Organic Chilean Wines for our World Wine Travel group this month. I received no monetary compensation and all opinions are strictly my own.

This classic Uruguayan Milanesa is made from Sirloin Steak, sliced and pounded into cutlets that are then breaded and fried to a crisp golden brown. Chimichirri is the traditional accompaniment to this delicious dish that I paired with a Pisano Tannat.
The World Wine Travel group has headed to South America this year to explore the wines, foods and cultures of this vast region.
Cam of Culinary Cam is hosting this month and invited us to join her in exploring Argentina saying:
For February's #WorldWineTravel event, let's focus on Beyond Malbec from Mendoza. That can mean (1) a Malbec from elsewhere in Argentina or (2) a different variety from Mendoza.
I love Malbecs so I went on a search for one made outside of Mendoza locating a bottle made by Catena Family Wines in Patagonia.
Join us as we celebrate the Foods and Wines of Chile. Welcome to a new year of World Wine Travel. This year we are exploring the wines of South America. I am happy to start 2023 off with an exploration of Chilean Foods and Wines.
I was excited when I was able to find a wine from New Zealand's North Island. I was thrilled when I found a bottle of orange wine that was perfect for the upcoming Halloween celebrations.
