Quick Facts:

Estelle Rogers.

I am a travel writer focusing on destinations, downtowns, food, golf, lifestyle topics, and moderate luxury travel.

Expert traveler, average golfer, Pinot Noir consumer, and slow-dinner aficionado.

I want to travel the world and always return to McMinnville, Oregon, the best little big town on the planet.

I have seldom met a Caprese salad I didn’t like.

Beautiful Food: This was my simple site from 2008-2013. It was a gateway blog where I first explored my love of celebrating plated food as art. Not all art is on the wall.
