This is Silversea's new culinary experience, that will enliven any destination as it is curated for a real foodie experience, as well as of course, all the other amenities that I will share as I go!<p></p><p>Where to pick, on these hazy, hot and humid days of summer in Virginia....Why not to Iceland and the Faeroe Islands (Danish) on the Silver Moon, Reykjavik return 10 days! </p><p>About five years ago, I attended an Iceland weekend while visiting Toronto, which included art, then films (with my BFF Brenda), an Icleandic Dinner with Garrett (who else is the best sport about dining?) and bought the book Independent People by Halldór Laxness, winner of the nobel Prize in Literature. ISBN 0679-76792-4. It's been on my list to explore, understand, experience the culture, the people and the food. I love a new destination for me, that I can immerse in pre-trip, don't you? Joining a Silversea cruise is truly an optimal way to explore a place like Iceland. Unpack once, (with the butler doing the organizing...) be on the sea (we are in the middle of the ocean anyways, aren't we?) and have plenty of summer light (mostly 20+ hours a day) to explore each and every stop, which are great long days! Brilliant!</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8K0LEzbXyr64APAEbh49geW5vbfsQTEjJtjzNcIK7BB7cNZVgrUFq6LvDrxoju1CEXsCismlwW3piN4l-eL-S40MmkWbHd-HQK6z8t50zfu7N99DPzgN47Sb4Jza1Mzr8OHyACFII2ct2jTGRda3-ldVeaqYUIZ35iAmCgPv6PWA6K4VxFMQzbCy1/s5120/IMAGERY838A6847.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="3413" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8K0LEzbXyr64APAEbh49geW5vbfsQTEjJtjzNcIK7BB7cNZVgrUFq6LvDrxoju1CEXsCismlwW3piN4l-eL-S40MmkWbHd-HQK6z8t50zfu7N99DPzgN47Sb4Jza1Mzr8OHyACFII2ct2jTGRda3-ldVeaqYUIZ35iAmCgPv6PWA6K4VxFMQzbCy1/s320/IMAGERY838A6847.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><p></p><p>I just read an exciting article from Adam Sachs, the former Saveur editor-in-chief, who is spearheading this new program for Silver Moon, and Silver Dawn (my Petra/Petra experience that I am hosting in January 2024, P.S. cannot wait for the S.A.L.T. experience in this region!).</p><p>Please take a read, if you ever thought Iceland was not about food, read on, and add this extra amuse-bouche to the long lists of opportunities, from hiking, photography, fishing, bathing, painting, touching, smelling, and water...the land of Fire and Ice, Here is the lowdown on the food </p><p>https://discover.silversea.com/to-the-curious/salt-kitchen/s-a-l-t-spotlight-heres-why-icelands-culinary-scene-will-surprise-you/</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4jOEAPdvA-JFEBzQAmRZDEZZ0Hf_6fQUR9gfC_Tf8GPBAzKvO0NXkrSU2IDHpF3JF6cecwhn5qqOmexoQYTCzfYaDzEoMVpUtDkXbQWzlHSb07luBVU4SxrXoJDiBAsy5OyCQ6wpHaqSqY8448REN3gFAxhlCsFNT9g5XDFwQDdo95xPsg1-PJPfh/s5120/IMAGERYDSC_3340.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="3840" height="459" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4jOEAPdvA-JFEBzQAmRZDEZZ0Hf_6fQUR9gfC_Tf8GPBAzKvO0NXkrSU2IDHpF3JF6cecwhn5qqOmexoQYTCzfYaDzEoMVpUtDkXbQWzlHSb07luBVU4SxrXoJDiBAsy5OyCQ6wpHaqSqY8448REN3gFAxhlCsFNT9g5XDFwQDdo95xPsg1-PJPfh/w395-h459/IMAGERYDSC_3340.jpg" width="395" /></a></div><p></p><p>There is also a S.A.L.T.

We have ten days exploring eight destinations around the whole island of Iceland, plus a big day on Faeroe Islands. All of the destinations have included excursions, that are beautifully curated by locals. The value that I can offer you booking with me, as an Ensemble/TEN advisor will please even the most discerning traveler - please reach out, @540.718.4046 or jetsetwisdom@gmail.com for further information! </p><p>And as a special special, I can offer $500 off the Silversea published rate, on their website, just because I can, as per my personal connection last week. This is just for my cruise on July 14th departure, #MO2320714010. There are other departures available which have very special amenities that I can offer.</p><p>That being said here is your link to incredible offerings with Silversea: www.silversea.com and let me know if I can help you decide where and when you'd like to experience this kind of cruising!</p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">All photos ©Silversea Cruises Ltd.</span></p>j e t s e t WISDOMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01352828182586202231noreply@blogger.com0Iceland64.963051 -19.02083536.652817163821148 -54.177085000000005 90 16.135415tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023899303441612879.post-62027558514070533052021-04-19T09:43:00.036-04:002021-04-19T10:12:53.189-04:00<p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDGutxdGp4rJIoEVydgQ5yZuEKqLvnP3JC4UVOown5HVvWOa-SgsQ0CDg9QgLEN0rKselmbEvk-dhpS3iD5Y939Z-X3uOIKQwc3S3sTDF-MDTPf-017bd4IZZbhBE2_B1Zrj9In4EIjhM/s800/Screen+Shot+2021-04-19+at+9.38.54+AM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="612" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDGutxdGp4rJIoEVydgQ5yZuEKqLvnP3JC4UVOown5HVvWOa-SgsQ0CDg9QgLEN0rKselmbEvk-dhpS3iD5Y939Z-X3uOIKQwc3S3sTDF-MDTPf-017bd4IZZbhBE2_B1Zrj9In4EIjhM/s320/Screen+Shot+2021-04-19+at+9.38.54+AM.png" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: georgia;"><span><span style="background-color: #990000;">The Atlanta Olmsted Plein-Air Event is in Atlanta as I write.

This, not the usual trip for Jetset Wisdom, but this, the new normal. For us. Just a bit longer I suppose.

That we have. And we all are standing proud and strong that we will get through this! A favorite muse, from Aix en Provence, Jill Steenhuis is painting with the invitational. I have participated in a two day painting retreat with her and she is extraordinary in her skill and her spiritual journey through painting. More to come!

Milan promotes several museums housed in grand Palazzi locally, we’ll fit in at least two, and a stop at the Castello Sforzesco before a walk through Parc Sempione’s Trienelle Museum . Aperativo is a must on one of our evenings.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">We will leave on Monday midday for a short drive up to Franciacorta to our agriturismo stay of three nights. Filled and inspired by the art of Milan and Turin, we will surely enjoy some plein-aire. Do not worry - if painting is not your thing we have lots of other activities in mind. However, painting in the vineyards and terraces of our lovely agriturismo should be a priority. This undiscovered region is not to be missed. Lago Iseo is beautiful, and the place of The Floating Piers exhibit in 2016: www.christojeanneclaude.net/projects/the-floating-piers. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">We conclude, quite fittingly in the champagne region of Italy - (francia corta - short French) with amazing champagne. We will have some time for a wine tour and serious retail therapy at the close by Franciacorta Outlet Shopping Village for those interested.

The Upper Belvedere is where Waldmuller's largest collection lives. His portraiture left me breathless. Makes me, the lowly non-portraiture painter take up some serious time, maybe in the October retreat at Capon Springs with the Firnew Farm Artists Circle, to paint a portrait - maybe, albeit a daunting quest. See the link, <a href="http://www.belvedere.at/en/sammlungen/belvedere/klassizismus-romantik-biedermeier/waldmueller#.VfwsoKo_ciM.blogger">Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller | Belvedere palace and museum Vienna</a><br /><br />
The day began in search of the final collection of Klimt in Vienna, after seeing Beethoven's at the Seccession, The Albertina and The Leopold's collection, we gleaned an awful lot about how Klimt became the first president of the Seccession and how his peacefulness at his Austrian lakehouse depicted such deep quiet, then changed into his more 'modern' works, as in Woman in Gold. However, finding Walmüller at The Belvedere was just one of many equisite collections of Austrian Art. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
The music, operas and art of this elegant city makes this a #1 destination for me. Given that Austrian Air flies direct non-stop from Washington Dulles is another efficient reason to give Vienna a vote!<br /><br />

<br />
Of course, being Jetset Wisdom, I loved the title. That this has been (one of) my careers for the past twenty-six years, the doc definitely depicts the finer times of our lives. Although many of the glamourous aspects (like week long sojurns in Fiji) were before my time, we still have the power and the ability to show up for someone's birthday in London, a wine show in Paris, the EXPO in Milan, visiting family in faraway places, and Fat Tuesday in Rio. <br />

Please watch her trailer and watch for updates. I find it fascinating, that she will produce this film with very limited funds, and tell a story that needs to be shared. Check out the link! Impressive work Molly - can't wait to see the finished film!<br />

Leaving the US or Canada on Wednesday October 22, and arriving in Italy on Thursday, October 23, we will be either meeting in Torino at our chic, artsy albergo, or at a pre-arranged location at MXP Malpensa airport for the 1.5 hour drive to Torino. After check-in you will have the option of a late afternoon tour of this baroque beauty called Torino, followed by a welcome local Piemontese dinner. Get familiar with the city of Torino and rest up for the Opening Day of Salon del Gusto- you will need comfortable walking shoes for our next three days.</div>

Monday and Tuesday we will explore the wines of Piemonte with a private driver, staying at a perfectly situated and appointed, Corte Gondina in La Morra (which was reviewed recently in the Wine Spectator). La Morra is located in the centre of the Barolo area of Langhe, and produces over 40% of the Barolo wines. The town is full of jewels - lovely trattorie and shops, with walking trails through the local wineries. Dinner is included Sunday and Tuesday, however, Monday dinner* will be on your own. </div>

We will stop for lunch at local Osterie along our wine routes both days and will be included. Our region is renowned for both Roero (whites) and the long heady line of Barolos.</div>

Milano resonates with sophistication, beauty, art, fashion and architecture. One of my all time favorites to explore. Next three nights, we will be staying right up the street from famous PECK and the Biblioteca-Pinacoteca Ambrosiana. </div>

Minutes from La Scala, The Duomo and bohemian La Brera, you will feel at home in this small private hotel, sharing harmony, culture and silence. Dinner together and prepare for a Thursday filled with exploring the Design capital of the world. Milan promotes several very small and private museums, housed in grand Palazzi locally, we’ll fit in at least two, and a stop at the Castello Sforzesco before a walk through Parc Sempione’s Trienelle Museum. </div>

Thursday Dinner* on our own most likely at a spot in La Brera. Final day of Friday is on your own: can be spent either going to an outlet shopping village outside of Milano, a train up to the Lake District - think Garda, Maggiore or simply boat to Bellagio, (an hour away by train), seeing The Last Supper, or just exploring more of Milan and picking up last minute gifts and shoes (!) Private aperitivo on our balcony looking over Milan before a final dinner at one of my very favorite spots, included.</div>

South Africa's <i>Kay Hassan</i> (My Father's Music Room) and Canadian, <i>Rebecca Belmore</i> (Fringe), oh, and the beautiful blue-eyed, kilted, and bejewelled, tammed and bearded stranger. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Just when you thought the chill of winter wasn’t showing it’s frigid face, it’s here. In the<br />20’s today! What better time than now, to choose a last minute winter getaway down to Argentina. Seasons are opposite, and what better time to enjoy mid 80’s, and long, light summer nights sipping on fruity Torrontes by day, and sultry Malbecs in the evening.<br />Departing on Thursday, Feb 9, you will be met at Buenos Aires (EZE) Ezieza Pistarini<br />airport on Friday to start our 10 days/9 nights exploring three diverse areas of Argentina.<br />Time to get settled in Palermo, we’ll be there for 3 nights, in other words, a perfect long<br />weekend in one of my favorite cities in the world - before taking off for Mendoza on Monday afternoon.<br />Staying at a stellar, boutique hotel, we’ll have time to relax at the pool, have breakfast, before heading out for the day. Palermo has a special ‘Circuito Diseño’, many designers on small streets, and with the 3.90 Argentine peso to our dollar - the prices are truly a bargain! Leather abounds, but also clothing, accessories are a cut above! Each day, we’ll have some time to relax, shop, or take sun in our perfect location.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">If you’ve always<br />desired to learn<br />some Tango, I<br />have a studio<br />and 3 private<br />lessons with<br />Alejandro set up<br />for our group,<br />starting<br />Saturday<br />morning,<br />followed by an<br />evening of<br />Milonga dancing to relax and show off what you’ve learned.<br />Lunch is on your own, but I have a great place for calamari and pasta!<br />Dinner is planned down at the restored Puerto Madero waterfront, with an after dinner ‘passeggiata’. Remember, Argentina is made up of many Germans and Italians, and even thoughSpanish is their language, Italian is very prominent! So, either way, you can get some practice!<br />We’ll discover the treasures of the infamous San Telmo Mercado on the<br />Sunday, Of course, a chance to wander through the Recoletta to see Evita and<br />frankly, one of my favorite photo-op cemeteries in the world. fit in either the<br />Palermo Botanical Garden for some shade, or cool at the MALBA (Muséo de<br />Arte LatinoAmericano de Buenos Aires). Sunday evening will be dinner at<br />the very best LOMO in Argentina, LaCabrera.<br />Monday morning we’ll have another Tango lesson, quick lunch at the hotel/<br />or last minute stops for shopping before our short flight to Mendoza at 3pm. We<br />leave from the small local airport, which is a mere 20 minutes from Palermo.<br />We’ll arrive in Mendoza Wine country, just in time<br />for a wine flight at Vines of Mendoza with Juliette<br />and Mariana. This is the best to get started on our<br />journey of 3 days of wine tasting in the UCO and<br />Lujan de Cuyo. I’ve chosen a special selection<br />to whet your appetite.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

Tonight, I found this blogpost of a recent experience with the May tornado, and her beloved home, Woodsong Farm, I wanted to share this. Her songwriting is up there with the best, I'm thinking this post is so true from her heart, and just shows how vulnerable we all are to grief and to Mother Nature.

Starting at the MAC store at Shortpump, I had my ONEONONE with Krista, who showed me how to integrate my new 17minutes VOICE Record of Chiesa Cristiana Evangelica Battista di Roma's special choir (rehearsal for Pascua this weekend) into 80 photos and 2 videos of recent photos from The City of Eternal Light.

Onwards to an 11:30 luncheon at <a href="http://www.lewisginter.org/">LEWIS GINTER</a> with our Firnew Artist Circle. 16 of us met for many great photo and painting ops, and a guided tour of these incredible acres of beauty including <a href="http://www.lewisginter.org/events/event_detail.php?event_id=622">ORCHIDS GALORE</a> a temporary exhibit of Orchids. Make sure to grab lunch at the Teahouse - the view is breathtaking.<br />

</tbody></table>Next, we drove down to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts to their <a href="http://www.vmfa.state.va.us/Picasso">PICASSO</a> temporary exhibit from Paris. If you do go, plan on downloading their online guide gratis - onto your iphone - no need to buy the audio tape at the museum.<br />
<div>Link for the audio is <a href="http://www.vmfa.museum/Picasso-audio-tour.aspx">VMFA: Audio + Virtual Tours: Picasso: Masterpieces from the Musée National Picasso, Paris Audio Tour</a>. Well worth the visit down - I would've liked to spend more time at the Museum - but how much can a group from the farmlands of Madison do in one day!! We're planning our next trip soon (either Italia or Richmond, or both! This group simply rocks!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uvnKgMi25KE/TbGGENVfc7I/AAAAAAAAAXE/PCpcdruk7lk/s1600/P1080527.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uvnKgMi25KE/TbGGENVfc7I/AAAAAAAAAXE/PCpcdruk7lk/s320/P1080527.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

On the palate it is surprisingly complex for its bargain price with a viscosity bordering on opulence. If you enjoy Albarino, this is one to buy by the case.<br />
Burgans' Albarino is an annual Best Buy in this journal but the superb 2009 vintage in Rias Baixas has carried it to new heights."</b></i><br />

Adored it 4 years ago for Thanksgiving, and fell in love this time! I can't get enough of that over-the-top showbiz flamboyance! I know that I am on vacation when I am there! Yes, this was my vacation, clearly. Too many very good margaritas, coupled with killer Mexican for lunch on a daily basis. But aside from all of that foodie stuff, Palm Springs is simply eye-candy. It just is. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Home for one day, before I leave for Buenos Aires for pretty much the rest of the month! BRAVA!!! Tango, hopefully long lunches and late dinners with friends, visits to the new Hotel Fierro that the Rosbergs are involved with (Fierro Hotel) Tango lessons at Borges Cultural (TANGO Lessons) and lots of Malbec and Manzo!<br />
Oh and one bottle of Uxmal Sauvignon Blanc!!!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This was one of the Breakout Sessions that FOODBUZZ sponsored at the Sir Francis Drake. All of us, good writers, or not, feel that we can always improve. I definitely feel that my ideas, photographs and level of blog content far surpass my writing skills. Is this why I find it so difficult to sit down and WRITE? My favorite was the list of foreboden words, we as foodbloggers chose, coupled with the list Brooke reports that are strictly not allowed in her journalist post at a paper.</span><br />

</div>Just returned from a mouth-watering experience at SLOW FOOD's Salone del Gusto in Turin, Italy. Myself and one other 'hungry for SLOW FOOD experience' Italian speaker tossed out sleeping and opted for a 2 hour train ride from Milan to Turin's Lingotto Fiere. The eighth biennial food and wine festival is like no other in the world. Coupled with TERRA MADRE, this year they had over 200,000 visitors, many from outside of Italia, and from what I gather, a group even from our area Charlottesville division of Slow Food!<br />
<br />
<br />
To give you an idea of the scope of this incredible , SLOW FOOD began 20 years ago to battle the fast food beginning to show it's ugly head in Italy. Since then, from what I understand, it has grown to be quite a movement. Now in many other countries, we in the Piedmont of Virginia even have our own brand new group, with my good friend, Christina Ball as one of the directors. I am very excited to become involved in this, since I am also working on an innovative dining project with local produce in our art group; primarily as a sharing of good slow food and artistic recipes!<br />

My take on this 'hurried' 10 hours, was that I couldn't get enough of the tastes, friendships, interest in beautiful slow food, most likely paired with delicious artisan wines and beers. I cannot wait to slow down enough (!) to go back and enjoy the next one for days!! We accomplished only the 20 (twenty!) regions of Italy - each region had over a dozen different offerings, from cheese to pork to chocolate! After over an hour in our first, Campagnia, we had to regroup and step up the pace, or we NEVER would have even done that. The Slow WINE had to wait for the next show, and so many different lectures, cooking demos, next time. We did squeeze in a cooking dem from my favorite region, Puglia, with my new friend Michele Bruno, president of Slow Food Puglia, that brought back dreams of Santa Maria del Sole, and their own slow food.<br />

Enjoying wine tastings, art galleries and lots of time for painting, yoga, horseback riding in the Andes, and amazing photo ops with the fall colours in full force. Wine-pairing lunch at O. Fournier, a private tasting dinner at Posada Salentein, all included in your price. Enjoy a bit of relaxing after our four days in Buenos Aires (our first stop - which will be exhilarating and definitely not relaxing - although I have got us booked in for a great afternoon of reflexology and a massage! while in the city) After winetasting as several of the UCO Vallely wineries - which are deep and sultry compared to Lucán de Cuyo - our next stop! 3 nights in the historical town of Chacras de Coria - a mere 8 miles from Mendoza City -but a world away from the bustle. We'll enjoy incredible lodging, cooking fresh pasta, drinking special edition wines from the posadas, and have an incredible mix of rural and city for our final 3 nights. Leaving for Buenos Aires on Saturday afternoon for your evening flight -or stay with me and fly up to Salta....oh when must this end....I could stay in this country FOREVER!!!!!</span></div><br />
