I am blessed with my job to be able to experience many wine regions first hand. While experiencing these regions I am often afforded the opportunity to experience cultural aspects of many of the places I visit as well. Over time it has occurred to me that in addition to sharing my wine experiences I should also from time to time share some of the cultural experiences as well. Therefore, it is with great excitement that I share the following travel article featured in Food, Wine, Travel Magazine.
While in Spain in early April visiting Rueda and Ribera del Duero, we spent a morning in Segovia, a charming medieval town that was once the of high importance to the Spanish empire. Having a Master’s degree in History of Christianity, and specifically studying Latin America from 16th – 18th century, the historic era of Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand is my wheel house. Therefore, I could not visit Segovia as any tourist, I had to view it through the eyes of a church historian.
I am so thrilled to have my first travel article published in such a beautiful magazine. Furthermore, this article is the first time my own photographs have been used along with my writing.
