St Andrews, Scotland Happy Hour

Posted on: June 12th, 2013 by: The Weekly Flyer

Any Ultimate AAward trip to Scotland wouldn’t be complete without a stop to the Old Course at St Andrews to where the game began.

We stopped by the Rocca Grill at the Rusacks hotel for a nice dinner with a view.

It wasn’t pouring down rain on this day. The weather was unreal for an early Scotland day in June. We poured down a bottle of 2008 Segla to mark the occasion. The wine was fantastic! But the views and company were better.
