DEL.ICIO.USCycle Your Way Through Wine Country, but Never Leave Your Front Door
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It had to happen. As a matter of incident, I’m surprised it didn’t come sooner.
Virtual tours may not be everyone’s idea of techo wizardry anymore, but virtually cycling your way through California’s wine country is at least a better way to burn calories than staring at a wall for 50 minutes.
Connect18, a techno-fitness company in San Francisco, has designed a series of six 45-minute cycling videos that allow the cycler to virtually tour wine country without leaving their stationary bike (or treadmill, or elliptical). Each class starts on the road to Connect18 music, then moves to vineyards and wineries, with interviews from owners and winemakers. The program will leave you fitter and faster, and with a working knowledge of cabernet sauvignon, syrah, chardonnay, viognier, pinot noir and zinfindel.
Can’t make it to the Connect18 club in San Fran? Order the DVD box set of six for $29 — it’s available December 15, just in time for Christmas. Go to www.connect18.com for more information.
Who’s in? Would you do this? Or is it the real thing or nothing for you?
