Today I want to write about one of the places closest to my heart and soul – Cape Cod. I started going to the Cape when I was three weeks old and have been going more or less ever since. We used to go when I was growing up and seven years ago I decided to start the tradition again.

I am so looking forward to all the Cape has to offer in terms of beaches, water, seafood, fishing, fun and peace. Not so looking forward to the sharks that have come to feast on the growing seal population but nothing beats a sunset at Race Point or the dunes on Long Nook so I will just have to get used to sharks too.

As on any road trip, one packs the essentials. My toolbox includes some incredible wines from Italy, Spain, Chile and France I am excited to share them and pair them with the bounty of the Cape. I also love to go to the package store and buy the wines and beer that they have on offer there too. Cheers to the Dog Days of August.
