Although I have tried to pull back somewhat on assuming responsibility for everyone’s good time (a bad habit to be sure) I have donned my Cruise Director hat and set up some wine tastings in Chianti as well as Montepulciano and Montalcino. So far the lineup includes Castello di Ama, Badia a Coltibuono, Castello di Brolio, Avignonesi, Poliziano, Biondi Santi and Castello Banfi (oh they are going to kill me!). I was lucky to actually get so many visits planned as harvest is happening early in Italy this year and the wineries will be abuzz with activity.
I will report back about the wines and the hospitality when I return (no high speed internet at the villa.) With all the vino and pasta, truffles, bistecca and gelato I can only hope I will be able to fit in my chair come October! Ciao for now.
PS: I was going to end with a quote from Cruise Director extraordinaire Julie McCoy but it seems, well, she didn’t really have much to say! It's all about Captain Stubing.
PPS: I bet you were wondering what Julie McCoy could possibly have to do with anything wine related!
