I took my new bride to Italy for our Honeymoon. 3 days each in Lake Como and Venice. Of course the 6 days in between was spent dragging her along to some of my favorite vineyards/wineries to meet with some of the best wine Makers on the planet. Lunches/Dinners with Angelo Gaja & Rossana, Luciano Sandrone, Luca Currado & Elena (Vietti), Edoardo Sobrino, Riccardo Campinoti (Le Ragnaie), Luigi Fabbro & Katia (San Polino), Luca Roagna… Does it sound like I’m name dropping? Effin A right. Very different climate and therefore a very different set of rules to live/grow grapes/make wine by, but educational none the less.
