Percs & Comps
When a perk is not necessarily a "comp."
On a recent trip to the Copper Canyon of Chihuahua, Mexico, I visited a unique winery.
The Misión Winery and Hotel is in the small mile-high community of Cerocahui.
The trip was comped. The wine shown was bought (about $25 US). The "perk" was being able to savor this fine wine as I enjoyed the awesome experience of the Copper Canyon.
 
An article on this trip is now published in IFWTWA's web magazine--Global Writes.
Some of the perks (comps) on this trip were provided by AeroMexico Airline, The State of Chihuahua, Mexico and Mexico Tourism.

Woodstock VT Took Us to Long Trail Beer
 Long Trail Beer
It is easy to picture me sipping cold, freshly brewed Long Trail beer along the Ottaquechee River in Vermont's green Mountains.
This experience, learning about Long Trails environmentally conscious methods, was a delightful surprise during my recent visit to Vermont.
Now picture, Gail, Maralyn and Norm, who claim to be non-beer drinkers, trying all six tastes of the award winning beers. Later I spotted Gail leave Long Trail with two six-packs.
This story tells it all about how delicious Long Trail beer tastes. I loved the Blackberry Wheat, (healthy, too) the lighter Belgian White and golden colored Harvest Ale.
The ambiance and hospitality of the entire staff only added to the lovely May afternoon along the riverside.
Even during their humble beginnings, Long Trail was "green" before it became a buzzword.
For more information on their eco friendly facility, tours or ordering, visit
