This blog originated from my love of both travel and wine. I remember Mr. Spittoon and I sitting in our 1-bedroom unit in Sharjah (United Arab Emirates) in 2010 trying to come up with the perfect blog name and naturally right from the start we decided on Travelling Corkscrew.
If you read my last post you will know that over the Christmas break I spent a couple of weeks in Dili, Timor Leste (formerly known as East Timor). It’s not the typical holiday destination for a wine blogger seeing as it’s a third world country that’s hotter than a frypan on heat but rest…
