Why wine travel? Well, that’s an easy one. Wine takes on the taste of its environment. Great wines are made from surly grapes, grapes that struggle to grow. The same grapes make living wines that taste different anywhere you go; it’s the wanderer’s drink of choice. 

This is in great contrast to Cola drinks, whose makers spend millions assuring everyone that their flavored sugar water will taste the same on a bus out of Managua as it does soiling a leaded crystal glass in a New York Trump bar. What makes a winery something to travel to? Isn’t every winery pretty much the same?
