In illustrating the spirit of his vibrant surroundings, Ernest Hemmingway once described the “mad, whirling carnival” he saw around him in Spain. As an American studying at Madrid’s IE Business School I will be documenting my experience with this blog, dedicated to that theme.


For friends and family, you can find frequent updates on my life and adventures by checking back here regularly. For anyone else, I hope you find my posts on business school and life in Spain interesting.

La Rioja wine country


Brones, in Rioja, seen from the vineyards.

It's funny to think back at my first experience ACTUALLY enjoining a bottle of wine... it was a '86 Marques de Caceres drank for a special occasion with my college girlfriend. Those grapes came from these vines, grown here at the base of this beautiful town.



The view from the top of one hill town. One of many hill towns here... one of may beautiful views here.


An old wine press...or maybe torture machine...I'm gonna get out of here!
