The 10th Episode of Sweetgrass Productions ongoing On the Road with Solitaire features a stop at Hotel Portillo, in Las Condes, Chile, “where the snow falls deep and the wine flows free.” The bit definitely has some feel good vibes attached to it, especially when the storm breaks. It certainly gives me the ski itch today as the high temperature in Denver is set to be 91 degrees. Episode XI comes out August 2.
