And here we go again! Or, really, there they will go in May. After weeks of leaks and guesses, the official 2014 Giro route has been announced. An interesting one for my Wines of The Giro as we kick off in Belfast. Whisky/whiskey? Beer? We'll see.

I'm still sorting through and making my spreadsheet and will update with more details asap, including a map. The organizers made a video, if you'd like to see more right away.
