Never One Bottle
On a recent trip to the wine country of Franconia, I paid visits to two villages with wineries. This area of Germany is spangled with vineyards. The charmed settings made for pleasured experiences. I could not resist tasting a few bottles of wine. One lead to many more. The hosts took pleasure in the samplings.
Sponsored by #CanonDeu. I used the Canon SX740HS camera to record the journey.

A Birkin at WALMART! YES!
Just when you thought the luxury handbag narrative could not get any crazier, it does. Now retail giant Walmart has entered the fray. The Bentonville discounter chain introduced a version of an iconic bag and social media has gone wild over the copy. Birkin handbags are suppose to be the exclusive domain of the rich and famous with buyers sometimes waiting for years to purchase the ultimate accessory. Walmart made getting hands on one, at least a sort of respectable fake, a bit easier with a dupe that looks almost exactly like the famous piece at a price of only $78. Given the recent headlines of heritage brands skimping on handbag craftsmanship, perhaps, maybe the “Wirkin” is worth the investment.

Splendour in a Residence
The New Residence is an example of splendour in the Franconia city of Bamberg. Sitting on a hill overlooking the region, the 40 state rooms housed in the Rococo designed palace are rich visual gems.
