Vino con vino?

We thought we would begin this journey by explaining the name of our blog. Vino con vino is our favorite Spanish sentence both because of its simple form (we suspect Boutros Boutros Ghali would approve) and what it means.

Vino, as most of you likely know is the Spanish word for wine, and a favorite beverage of ours. However, it is also the third person singular preterit (past) tense of the verb Venir (to come). Vino con vino therefore means "he came with wine" / "she came with wine" / "you came with wine". This really represents what we hope our journey to Spain and beyond will be: enjoying wine and life -- is there really any difference? -- with friends, family and even strangers.

We hope you will join us on our journey through Vino Con Vino. Also, we do take requests, so feel free to suggest blog post topics in comments and we will try to oblige.
