Then listen in while Erika shares the mysterious circumstances of the Bennington Triangle. From 1945 to 1950 in a Southwestern area of Vermont centered mostly in the area of Glastenbury Mountain, there were 6 mysterious disappearances. The 6 people have no connections to each other and most were doing different things before they disappeared. 2 were hiking along the Long Trail, 1 was walking home after being at the bar, 1 was on a local bus, 1 was waiting for pigs to be fed and the last was meant to be hiking but instead disappeared on her way to change clothes.
Erika was drinking a 2019 white from Pietre Di Vetro, Trebbiano - Del Rubicone. It was really good, citrusy and light.
