    The Lush Life The Best (and Best Values) in Wine, Travel and Golf

    Welcome to The Lush Life

    Travel, Wine and Golf—it’s a holy trinity when it comes to experiencing the finer things in life. From outstanding values to the lifestyles of the rich and famous, let The Lush Life be your guide. Using video, photography and regular blogs, we’ll walk you through your resort room, show you what the beach really looks like, share the coolest side trips, and guide you down the fairways of the most spectacular golf courses on earth.

    And as a longtime wine & spirits editor, Ted McIntyre will review the latest vintages and introduce you to some of the world’s most accomplished winemakers and master distillers—all in plain English!

    So welcome to The Lush Life—experiences of a better vintage.

    About

    Here at The Lush Life, we value the finer things in life. That can mean a $2,000-per-night resort suite in Fiji, but also an undervalued $15 bottle of Ontario Cabernet Franc. It can be an unforgettable round of golf in the winds of Northern Ireland with your closest friends, or a transcendental open-air, moonlit experience alone at a spa in Scottsdale. Whatever the experience, the reviews are honest, informative and, hopefully, fun to to read, watch and listen to. If you love great wine, travel and golf, this is the place. And we want The Lush Life to be interactive, so let us know what you think.
