WANDERLUST WINING ~ The Outdoorsy Oenophile's Wine Country Companion

I love to play in the outdoors and then drink wine made from grapes grown in Mother Nature's playground. My thirst for adventure and exploration is insatiable and led me to write my book Wanderlust Wining. A fun, delicious guide to outdoor activities, wineries, dining and lodging in wine regions across the USA, Wanderlust Wining is a one-stop-read to crafting fun active wine trips in familiar (and unfamiliar) winemaking areas.

Discover how to kick off an action-packed morning and spend the remainder of the day sniffing, swirling and sipping through local wineries. Learn how to taste wine like a pro and be in the "local know" about the best hiking and mountain biking trails or places to paddle, surf, SUP and sail. Visit creameries, galleries or savor a sustainable wine dinner served in the middle of a vineyard.

Cheers!

Stefani

50K Lost World Causeway Crossing! North Ireland

On Saturday, May 4th I raced the 50K Lost World Causeway crossing along the coast and Giants Causeway in North Irelandhttp://www.lostworldsracing.com/causeway-crossing-ireland-giants-causeway

Its a gorgeous part of the world and the route was fantastic. We ran along beaches, lush green hilly landscape (past lots of fluffy sheep), cliffs and crashing waves below. After a few years hiatus from ultrarunning racing it was nice to be back in the mix and squeak out a 3rd place finish to boot.

Race report from Ian Corless below. My article to follow in a few weeks!
