Destination Cellars offers exclusive wine travel

For those fanatics, like myself, who pour over every issue of Robb Report because I just have "too much money" and have "no idea" how to spend it all, except on limited edition watches and 300 year old Scotch, Destination Cellars has given us something new to look forward to. If you're one of their 500 exclusive members, you can travel the world to specific wine regions and have unique experiences, such as tasting rare wines in Burgundy, or a trip through Rioja with a private tasting in the caves. Membership gives you their unique concierge service which gives you first-class hospitality the whole way. How much does it cost? Well, if you have to ask, you're probably better off in the tasting room with the public (and me). Destination Cellars

$32 for a Martini? Gesundheit!

Between inflation, the poor American Dollar taking a beating against the Euro, and rounding up, it's not unheard of to be paying US$32 for a martini while in Europe. As it turns out, there's also something called "Euro Creep" that is affecting it. No, it's not some Italian guy taking his pants off on the train, it's the trend of rounding up to the nearest Euro, so a paper that once cost 88 Euro cents now costs a dollar. This is having a ripple effect and driving up the price of your martini. The reverse is turning America in to Europe's Mexico, as they come to New York City for the amazing prices. Go figure. The solution? Well, there's not a really good one. Most of it is by trying to take advantage of perks that can come for Americans that are travelling, or taking a cruise. I guess you could also not drink, but I thought we were going on vacation? Europe, home of the $32 martini
