Jessie on a Journey
A winding dirt road lined with stone walls snakes through lush greenery, leading toward a small red and white structure in the distance that appears to be a watchtower or lookout point. In the background, the majestic peak of a large mountain rises into the clouds, its slopes covered in a hazy blue hue. The scene appears to be set on a remote island, with the mountain dominating the landscape and the winding road providing a sense of exploration and adventure. The vibrant colors and striking contrast between the natural and man-made elements create a picturesque and almost dreamlike atmosphere.

Unexpected Wine Region: Azores Island

What's the most unexpected wine region you've ever visited? 🍷 ___ Pico Island, one of nine volcanic Azorean islands located almost 1,000 miles from mainland Portugal, isn’t the first place you’d expect to find a thriving wine culture; however, the destination has been producing wine since the 15th century, starting about 10 years after the first settlers came around 1439. Despite volcanic eruptions, lava landslides and hostile environment, these early settlers were able to not only adapt, but thrive. ___ Pretty crazy, huh?
