Set amongst the rolling Scottish hills about a 45-minute drive from Glasgow city center you’ll find the Glengoyne distillery. With large white warehouses covering both the left and right-hand side of the road you won’t miss it. The visitor’s center is located at the backside of the property, which leads up to the hills and…
Kilts, Braveheart, bagpipes, tartan and haggis. Scotland is a land of many great things. The greatest of the lot has to be the delectable single malt scotch whiskies. I spent a couple of years working with luxury spirits in Dubai. So I have been lucky enough to try some stunning drams. However nothing beats the…
Following on from my February 6th article, about Cava Berdie, I have to recognize another bodega whose seductive Spanish suave swayed me to the Cava side of life last summer. You, me and the guy next door are all looking for a way to stand out from the crowd and to shout ‘I am unique’, its…

After spending 6 weeks in the premiere Spanish wine region of the Penedès in Catalonia I can honestly say that I will never look at the Spanish sparkling wine – Cava – the same ever again. My complete outlook on this bursting bubbly has done a 360-degree swirl; from only knowing a certain blacked out…
I have just finished a 7-month backpacking trip around Europe. I guess you could say that I’m now considered as an avid traveler so I believe what I am about to say is completely justified. Lonely Planet guidebooks are unhelpful, useless and are complete dead weight. My ‘Europe on a Shoestring, Big Trips on…
The beauty of visiting Champagne is that it’s literally two steps from Paris. You can take the 40-minute TGV train from Paris Est or like I did the 1 hour 15 minute regional train (since I have a Eurail pass it means I don’t have to pay for a reservation on the regional trains unlike…
