The drive to Domaine Drouhin Oregon is a beautiful and breathtaking journey on the winding back roads of Yamhill County. There are vineyards around every bend and on every road! In many ways those rolling hills with those straight rows of vines reminds me of Iowa cornfields. This family owned, 225 acre Domaine Drouhin estate […]
Bells Up Winery – Newberg, Oregon
I still find it hard to believe that Porcupine Balls and Instagram can be used in the same sentence to begin my review of Bells Up Winery in Newberg, Oregon. Months before Peepaw and I left on our latest road trip to the Willamette Valley wine country, I posted a photo on Instagram. It’s a […]

Hudson’s Southside Tap – Iowa City, Iowa
The sign is still missing (coming VERY soon I’m told) but I can’t wait any longer to share this… Drum roll please… Remember the theme song from that great TV show…Cheers? “You want to go where everybody knows your name.” Well…we think that kind of neighborhood restaurant/pub has arrived […]

The Elbo Room – Fort Lauderdale, Florida
We took a step back in time…and paid a visit to The Elbo Room during our Fort Lauderdale tour with our friends. If you remember the movie Where The Boys Are…you have seen this place. And I can tell you it probably looks exactly the same today…except for the prices! It was fun to look […]
