Is this how you enjoy great wine? For our final touristy day in France was spent at the amazing Marqueyssac Gardens . This is just a few kilometers outside of Sarlat and we started the visit off with a picnic that was overlooking 4 different castles while...
During our last two days in France, we took a bunch of photos. This first group, which has been drastically paired down, is from the Sarlat market and the medieval town itself. This was an amazing place, and we would have loved to spend more time here...
In an effort to keep you all from French overload, here is another batch of photos from our France trip, all in small bite size piece. This particular day was spent wine touring two hours south of our house, in the region of Cahors. They've been making...
I'm here hanging with my good friend, Jim Goodman , raiding his wine cellar. We just finished an amazing 1982 Stags' Leap Petit Sirah and going on to the 1969 Robert Mondavi Cabernet , this all after nursing a hangover from the Pearl Jam show...

This post is part trip report, part personal. This was a very difficult, but incredibly special climb for me. Sorry this is long, but that's what happens when you do something life changing. The story behind this summit attempt actually starts 7 years...
This post is originally from July 26th. Yesterday I was sitting at a Cafe eating a pizza for dinner, when I was overcome with emotion. You see, a certain little someone, who is in her own world now, beckoned to me again. For some reason, at weird times...
