Last weekend, I celebrated the fact that I've been living in Los Angeles for five years. I took the opportunity to reflect on how moving away from Quebec, and to Los Angeles, has changed me and what I hope for the future.

The bottom line is this: everyone should go to Ireland once in their life. No matter if you're single, have 5 kids, are going for a vacation or for work, I promise you won't be disappointed and you'll leave wanting more. Dublin is a good first stop!

After visiting Nashville, I will say Memphis was like stepping in a whole other world. It felt older, rougher, but also like a city with more soul and history. Within the first few hours of arriving in Memphis and walking down Beale Street, I heard great live blues bands and enjoyed every second of it.

I was surprised by the quality of the Live music we heard in Nashville. I was expecting only country music in just a few bars...but I was wrong YALL! Every venue we walked into had a live band covering every song from Avril Lavigne to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers to Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Even if it feels like this area is very new and young compared to other older wine regions, I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the wines and the great outdoor spaces designed for people to hang out and chill for hours.
