  • In Hawaii: Expect Nothing. Be Ready for Anything.

    Kim Steutermann Rogers  on Wed 7/7/2010

    Destination: Maui

    nani moon mead, honey wine, at kapalua wine and food festivalLast month, I flew to Maui for the Kapalua Wine & Food Festival. I arrived at the Saturday afternoon Kapalua Wine Tour at The Ritz-Carlton promptly at 12:45 p.m. I hauled my laptop, two cameras, digital voice recorder, phone, notepad and pens in my favorite traveling backpack—the Sherpani Tosca. That meant my hands were free for things like, oh, wine.

  • Wines and Flowers from Hawaii and the World

    Kim Steutermann Rogers  on Mon 6/28/2010

    Destination: Maui

  • Mead: The Beverage of Choice for Honeymooners

    Kim Steutermann Rogers  on Mon 8/3/2009

    Destination: Kauai

    nani moon mead, honey wine, at kapalua wine and food festivalQuick: Do you know what mead is?  At our last ReefCheck, Stephanie Krieger mentioned her first bottling would take place in late July.  Mead? Mead?  I let the word float in my mind. Somewhere in the deep recesses, I’d heard the word before. Maybe it had to do with medieval times. That grog that friars drank, wasn’t that it?  “What is mead?” I asked Stephanie.
