Recent trip to Italy

Well, after a great month and half of being in Italy it is definitely difficult to be here. The food is not as good, it is a chore to find great coffee; the only thing I can say I am still consuming is great wine!! Thank god for my job!! So after seeing many producers of Vinifera's in Italy I need to post some photos. I'm going to start today with the 1st producer that I went and visited - Giacomo Bologna. A great visit with Nadine, the super spirits lady from Germany and the rest of the Braida crew. We were there during harvesting of the first pick wines (moscato/brachetto) and here are a few shots. I was so excited to see one of my favorite Piemontese producers and it was a thrill to be there. Got to taste through some exciting vintages coming up and their grappa that is produced by the world famous Berta distillery. More to come on my trip, but here are some pics.
