Though it can be argued that travel is a matter of money, we think that it depends on what one defines "travel" as. What's your take on this statement? What does "travel" mean for you?⁠

Having this happen is definitely frustrating. I find the best solution is to be prepared. When this happened to me, I had a spare credit card on me that I could use without delay. Of course, I learned the hard way when this first happened to me, but being prepared with a reserve card takes all the frustration away. ⁠

WORD WEDNESDAY: ⁠Appassimento⁠ ⁠ Noun⁠ Pro

WORD WEDNESDAY: ⁠Appassimento⁠
⁠
Noun⁠
Pronunciation: ap-pass-ee-ment-toh⁠
Meaning: The Italian term for drying harvested grapes to concentrate the flavour for making wine.⁠
⁠
The word appassimento comes from the Italian verb ‘appassire’ meaning to fade, wither, or shrivel. It refers to the process of drying grapes off the vine, usually in naturally ventilated warehouses called fruttai. Drying the grapes results in concentrated flavour, sugar, and acidity and powerful character. The Veneto region in northeast Italy is known for its appassimento wines, most notably Amarone della Valpolicella Classico. Today is National Wine Day and a good reason to try some appassimento if you haven’t already. Salute!⁠
