Welcome to the Paper Plane Journey…
…a world of Wines and Travel
Wine and travel are the two things I am most passionate about. I love to share my recent wine discoveries, winery visits and travels around Italy and around the World. If you are also passionate about wines, follow me on my wine journey.
Sometimes I feel like a paper plane, lightly flying around and deeply soaking into wine stories.
