Some Caribbean islands see almost 'total destruction' after Hurricane Beryl

A more complete picture emerged Wednesday of the extensive damage wrought by Hurricane Beryl's trek across the Windward Islands, revealing destruction and at least seven deaths.

At least three islands report more than 90% of the homes and buildings either destroyed or severely damaged, the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency reported Wednesday . All three are within the chain of Grenadine Islands, where Beryl roared into the Caribbean on the southern end of the Windwards, between St. Vincent and Grenada.

With 19 participating states across the Caribbean , the agency was helping coordinate disaster response on Grenada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines even as it continued to track Beryl’s movements across Jamaica, Cayman Islands and Belize. The eye of Beryl, still a Category 4 storm, raked Jamaica's coast Wednesday afternoon and was expected to pass near the Cayman Islands Thursday morning, before making landfall in the Yucatan on Friday morning.

The damage estimates for the Windwards – where Beryl made landfall over Carriacou – are only "a very preliminary look," said Elizabeth Riley, the disaster management agency's executive director. Beryl struck the islands with sustained winds of 150 mph and higher gusts on Monday, and the National Hurricane Center had warned that winds could be up to 30% higher on the tops of hills and mountains.

The impacts to the Grenadine Islands are "quite significant," Riley said, leaving residents exposed and vulnerable. Even as recovery efforts began, a tropical wave brought rain and gusty winds Wednesday to the suffering residents.

Grenada prime minister discusses damage on Carriacou

In a briefing late Tuesday after spending more than two hours in a helicopter provided by the government of St. Lucia, Grenada Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell described "total destruction" on the islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique.

"There's really nothing that can prepare you to see this level of destruction," Mitchell said. "It is almost Armageddon-like, almost total damage and destruction of all buildings. Complete devastation and destruction of agriculture. Complete and total destruction of the natural environment."

"There is literally no vegetation left anywhere on the island of Carriacou; the mangroves are totally destroyed, the boats and the marinas significantly damaged," he said. "There is almost complete destruction of the electrical grid system in Carriacou. The entire communication system is completely destroyed."

However, Mitchell added, he'd been heartened by the volunteers "showing true Grenadian spirit" by arriving from other less damaged areas in boats and fishing vessels to begin delivering relief supplies to those affected.

Beryl damage updates

The following are the preliminary assessments Riley listed:

Carriacou, Grenada

• The total population of 6,081 has been affected, so shelter is "a significant consideration."
• Majority of homes and buildings have been extensively damaged
• Communications have been significantly compromised

Petite Martinique, Grenada

• Estimated 80% of the houses and buildings extensively damaged or destroyed
• 900 people affected
• Majority of the island is sheltering in place

Canouan, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

• 100% of the island's population (12,600) has been affected
• An estimated 90% of the houses were damaged, either extensively or destroyed
• Police station in Charlestown lost its roof

Union Island, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

• Full population of 3,000 was affected by extensive damage
• Estimated 98% of buildings, including houses badly damaged or destroyed
• Airport control tower destroyed, hospital roof destroyed
• Power plant received significant damage
• Government assisting people who wish to evacuate

Mayreau, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

• Total population of 300 people affected
• 90% of the housing stock and buildings have been damaged or destroyed

Palm Island, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

• Resort and desalination plant significantly damaged
• More than 40 homes with damage, a number expected to rise
• Confirmed significant damage to the fishing sector
• More than 200 boats damaged
• Significant damage to the coastal infrastructure, particularly along the south coast 
• Partial road obstruction
• Significant damage on southern end 

Trinidad and Tobago

• Power outages
• Water disruption on Tobago 
• Roadway blockages on both islands

Bequia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

• An estimated 10% of the homes and buildings suffered roof damage
• Airport and runway are usable
• Minimal damages reported

Mitchell, Grenada's prime minister, said the island's northernmost parish, Saint Patrick suffered significant damage. The parishes of Saint Andrew, Saint Mark and Saint John also suffered much more damage than the parishes of Saint George and Saint David.

"It is clear that agriculture has taken quite a battering. It is clear that many persons have lost their roofs," Mitchell said. "It is clear, in some instances, many people have lost their entire homes."

Traveling to Spain With a Luxury Wine Club Made Me Want a Membership ASAP — Here's Why

"All wine lovers can buy just about any wine in the world, but...to share it with this great community is the real magic."

When thinking of a members-only wine club for travel lovers, the words expensive and exclusive come to mind. But while tagging along with one group of traveling vino aficionados this summer in Spain, any preconceived notions I had of a possible "too cool" club of wine sophisticates were quickly put to rest.

"Wine shouldn't be snobby or make people nervous," Michael Evans, CEO of The Vines club with 270 members that enjoys vino all over the world, told in the beginning of the trip.

Starting in Priorat — an area about 90 minutes inland from Barcelona — I joined 25 members for a 3-day trip. And while some already knew each other, I quickly realized we'd all soon feel like old friends. Making things even better, in our first wine tasting, I was immediately told that there was no need to wait to take a sip until explanations of the wines in front of us were over — why postpone joy, right?

The wine tasting led straight into dinner at our hotel — the gorgeous Terra Dominicata in the heart of the Montsant Natural Park — which in true Spanish form, included many more glasses of wine, and ended just after midnight.

The Vines, which was founded in 2019, hosts unique trips to famous wine-making regions across the world. Some of the club's current destinations include Champagne, France; Mendoza, Argentina; Napa Valley, California; and Willamette Valley, Oregon. And in the coming years, that list is likely to expand as The Vines has scouted locations in New Zealand and Georgia and hosted pop-up, spirit-based trips in Japan, Kentucky, and Mexico.

However, before The Vines was a group of travelers, known as the "explorers club," it started out as a wine resort of the same name in Mendoza in 2005. Today, it's a full-service operation, where members grow and cultivate their own grapes and even design their own labels.

Priorat is one of only two regions in Spain to earn the coveted Denominació d'Origen Qualificada (DOQ) designation meaning all wine produced in the region is of a government-regulated high quality. The region is also known best for deep red wines, as the environment can be too harsh for white (although there are still white wines produced). The region also primarily uses Garnacha (Grenache), and Cariñena (Carignan) grapes.

I quickly learned that the tour group of "explorers" live up to their name as members seemingly did not need sleep. We started the next day at 9 a.m. with wine blending, an activity that seemed like a bit of an endeavor at that early in the morning, before learning that the start time had to do with the palette being more open in the morning. Joined by local winemaker Dominik Huber of Terroir Al Limit , he, along with the rest of the group helped me decide on my perfect blend.

Once we had completed the morning blending session the group boarded a bus which took us through the incredibly narrow and windy roads of Priorat to a local, family-owned winery. We received a tour and tasting of the wine, straight out of the barrel and then were off once again to lunch at a local restaurant.

The Vines works with local chefs and restaurant owners to perfectly curate a wine and food menu with the many meals throughout their trips. They also take into account dietary restrictions. (As someone who's gluten-free, I appreciated the options, which were some of the best I've ever had, available)

When it comes to membership, the price tag is pretty hefty, but can range depending on what a wine lover is looking for in their experience.

Entry into the club as an explorer or winemaker costs approximately $100,000. It includes unlimited access to The Vines experiences and the ability to make unlimited wine at their base in Argentina. The Adventurer tier also comes with a $2,500 credit to use toward experience trips. The other tier is the adventurer level for an enrollment price of $20,000 and is structured for members who want to use the membership more for travel, although it does also include limited winemaking opportunities. For the adventurer tier, there is an additional spend of $9,500 which can be spent on The Vines blending escapes, workshops, guest fees, or winemaking.

Both levels have an additional yearly fee of $6,000 and $2,500 respectively.

For those curious about membership but not yet ready to commit, The Vines allows potential members to join a trip. The interview process to join involves several interviews (friendly conversations) with founders and fellow members.

"There is an application process , but it's not a snobby application process," Evans said. "Basically, we get to know somebody a little bit, we meet them for a glass of wine or lunch or dinner and we get a sense pretty quickly if they're going to fit in with the group."

Encouraging connections among the group, The Vines team brings name cards to every meal and sets them up before the group arrives (just one of the many details that are always taken care of behind the scenes). While assigned seating may seem like a forced way to start interactions, it opened up the conversation and allowed all members to meet and converse over a shared love of wine, food, and travel.

"What we aim to do is create really unique and exclusive opportunities, bucket list things, it's not just things that somebody can pull out their credit card and do," Evans told me. "All our members and all wine lovers can buy just about any wine in the world, but...to do that and share it with this great community is the real magic."

"Our members don't need to have a sommelier degree," The Vines head of sales, Bryan Driscoll, added. "A big part of this is the learning aspect."

That said, the experience was also complete with a tour of a nearby monastery with a local guide where we learned about the history of the region and how it affects the wine.

If one-of-a-kind experiences are what the members seek upon joining The Vines, they certainly left Priorat fulfilled. On our third and final day, we embarked on another early morning tour of the region's oldest wine cellar, Scala Dei complete with a full tasting. From there, we boarded our bus and visited with Huber once more where he presented his 100-point blend wine and then accompanied us on a short hike to the top of a nearby overlook. There, The Vines team had organized an entire picnic with gourmet food, and top-tier wine.

At our final dinner, which was naturally a paella feast, I sat with several founding members. When I asked why they had joined the club the answer came quickly.

"The common thread is wine and food, but it's really all about the experience," a member told me.

Her husband, added, "we don't care who makes what, no one has anything to prove — let's just have a good time and learn from each other."

The universal thread of the club isn't necessarily wine, but the members themselves, Driscoll added.

"We have so many different types of people from so many countries, and yet we all tend to merge and have amazing dinners and late nights," he said. "It's the people that really make the membership."

At the end of the trip, I was in the vast minority of trip members traveling back home. Other members were heading off to a new adventure, be it more wine tasting in Valencia, a few days in Barcelona, or for one couple, a trip in their camper van back home to the UK.

As much as I learned about Priorat wine, the trip filled me with the sweet reminder that wherever you may be in the world, and whoever you may be, there is always room for more friends (and wine) at the table.

Cycling Through the Bordeaux Vineyards: Why You’ll Love Our French Wine Country E-Bike Tours

Imagine weaving your way through lush vineyards under the gentle French sun, a light breeze rustling the grapevines around you. Welcome to Bordeaux, a region famed for its wine and enchanting landscapes. Now, imagine experiencing all this on an electric bike, requiring little effort to ride around breathtaking Saint Émilion. At Rustic Vines Tours, we take wine tasting to the next level with our unique, immersive e-bike wine tours of this mesmerizing wine region.

Our innovative approach to Bordeaux wine tourism fuses the thrill of e-biking with the classic charm of prestigious wine tasting. We invite you to join us on a captivating journey through the picturesque wine country as we unravel the tales of Bordeaux, one vineyard at a time.

Rustic Vines E-Bike Bordeaux Wine Tour

Your adventure begins either by taking a shuttle from Bordeaux or directly in medieval Saint Emilion, a quaint French wine village marked by its terracotta rooftops and ancient limestone walls. From here, you’ll embark on a journey across the rolling vineyards, taking in the breathtaking vistas of sun-kissed grapevines stretching out to the horizon. The journey continues towards the beautiful region of Lalande-de-Pomerol and then around the scenic vineyard landscapes of Montagne-St-Émilion.

Our top-of-the-line e-bikes, equipped with the latest technology, make this tour accessible to almost everyone. If you can balance on a bike, the electronic assist system amplifies your pedaling power, allowing you to traverse rolling hills as easily as flat terrains. Now, even the most novice bikers can enjoy the picturesque Bordeaux landscape without worrying about exhausting themselves. The battery range comfortably covers our tour route, ensuring a smooth and exhilarating ride throughout.

The Beauty Of Visiting Saint Émilion, France

Nestled in the heart of wine country, Saint Émilion is more than just a starting point for our e-bike tour – it’s a historical gem that complements the wine experience perfectly. A UNESCO World Heritage site, this medieval village has preserved its architectural integrity and unique character for centuries. From its ancient ramparts to the monolithic church carved from a single limestone cliff, Saint Émilion offers an abundance of historical riches.

As you ride down its narrow cobblestone streets, the village reveals its layered history at every corner. You’ll spot Romanesque ruins, pass under the Gothic arches of the old cloister, and marvel at the formidable King’s Tower. Saint Émilion’s beauty and historical allure add a rich cultural element to our e-bike wine tour.

What to Expect From The Châteaux Visits

The wine culture of Bordeaux comes alive as we visit two prestigious Châteaux during the tour. Each Château, chosen for its exceptional wines and fascinating history, opens up a new chapter in your understanding of Bordeaux’s wine making traditions. You’ll walk through ancient cellars and learn about grape varieties, the art of blending, and the detailed process that turns ripe grapes into exquisite wine.

At each Château, an estate professional leads you in a wine-tasting session. You’ll learn to appreciate the color, aroma, and flavor profiles of different Bordeaux wines, discovering the rich palette of sensations that each glass brings. In addition, a leisurely French-style picnic lunch amidst the vineyards or around the Château offers a chance to savor local cheeses, artisanal baguettes, and other regional delicacies while soaking in the serene beauty of your surroundings.

Experienced English-Speaking Tour Guides

Every tour is led by a knowledgeable, English-speaking guide whose passion for Bordeaux and its wines shines through in their narration. They are well-versed in the region’s history, culture, and viniculture, adding depth and color to your journey through the vineyards. Rustic Vines tour guides do more than just lead the way – they make the landscapes, the vineyards, and the wine come alive with stories and fun antidotes.

As you cycle through Bordeaux’s scenic countryside or sip wine at a prestigious Chateau, our guides are there to answer your queries and share interesting facts about the region. They strive to make the e-bike tour a fun day out and a learning experience that leaves you with a deeper appreciation of Bordeaux’s rich wine heritage.

As lab interns employed by the multi-billion dollar laboratory FocusTec Laboratories, you find yourself in an extremely precarious position.  FocusTec is known globally for their implantable chip technology - a scientific breakthrough that makes concentration a breeze.   As you enter the main lab area within the top secret sector of the facility, an assistant grabs your attention through a ceiling speaker.  The Chief Technical Officer, Patricia Cromwell, has not been to work for weeks, and to make matters worse, the facility has stopped producing the chip hardware.  The company is quickly losing favor with stockholders. Only Dr. Cromwell knew the system well enough to get it going again.

The assistant asks for your help - search the lab carefully and see if you can figure out how to follow in Dr. Cromwell's footsteps and get the machines turned back on again. FocusTec is counting on you!

RUDOLPH's GIFT

Difficulty: 

Christmas is a time for giving…and it’s also the busiest time of year at Santa’s Workshop!

Rudolph has hit a milestone anniversary for his long years of service in spreading holiday cheer throughout the world. Mrs. Claus has pulled out all the stops to celebrate this monumental occasion and is making him a one-of-a-kind gift: Golden Hooves to help with his rooftop landings. To add to the chaos, Santa’s elves have come down with the Mistletoe Mumps!

It’s hard to find seasonal workers these days, and even more so when you’re at the North Pole! Mrs. Claus is relying on YOU to help finish Rudolph's gift before Santa arrives, and make this wintery season holly and jolly for everyone!

  The Loire Valley is a lush green land of gently undulating countryside with rich vineyards interspersed with charming towns and magnificent Châteaux. The region boasts some of the most famous Châteaux in France: Amboise, Chambord, Azay-le-Rideau, Villandry and Chenonceau to name but a few. Known as the Garden of France, the region’s Châteaux and cultural monuments illustrate exceptionally the ideals of the Renaissance and of the Age of Enlightenment.

The rivers Loire, Cher, Indre and Vienne meander gracefully through the region and offer a delightful backdrop to many of the region’s Château and towns.

The winery in Montlouis was just so lovely and coach and driver perfect. Grape Escapes - what an amazing service. Thank you thank you thank you. The day organised by Grape Escapes was the highlight for me of my weekend in the Loire Valley.
