Finishing off our Triple D themed Napa Valley (and Sonoma) trip on The World on Wheels. Today, we hit the drive-in and the dive while also doing a little wine tasting. We also find a gem that Mr. Fieri missed: http://tinyurl.com/ya38r26

Just wanted to share with you our new guest post on the Bucelas wine region which is only half an hour away from Lisbon, perfect for a day out of the city, if you are visiting the Portuguese capital. They focus on fresh, dry white wines from the Arinto grape variety.

Ladies join us for a wine tour through Napa Valley in Oct. We also will be visiting San Fancisco to complete a full tour of the area.

Following up on my award, I've written a post about what the travel industry and wine industry can learn from each other about wine tourism. Comments on the post welcome.

Also, a chance to win a sub to jancisrobinson.com subscription site as it was part of my prize that I am going to pass onto someone else (as I have one!).
