On the
way to our next accommodation, we had arranged to stop by one of Italy’s top
wine makers, San Leonardo. We got there
at the appointed time. The person we had
arranged the visit with had forgotten us, and was in England! Oh no!
Oh well. He arranged for someone
else who spoke English quite well to take us around the winery. So beautiful and interesting. Showed us the cellar and ‘oh by the way,
while doing some work expanding it, we found an old well, we think it dates
back to Roman times.’ Ah, Italy.
Then
they couldn’t really give us a tasting, so as an apology, they offered to give
us some wine. Two bottles each! OMG! I felt like a kiddy at Christmas
time. Santa has come. Seriously.
This is one of the best wine produces in Italy. And we walked out with four bottles of
wine. Yay! Extremely generous.
Then
we went to our villa in Valpolicella - Amarone country. This is a picture of our villa.
Then to Verona for the day. Over eating, of course. Food was fabulous.
