Tuscan wine paradise
... of wine on offer was incredible and you could easily have spent an entire just in this store trying wines. I would strongly suggest anyone visiting Greve should spend a few hours and euros here. All I can add at this stage was that the day was an ...
Lazy day...
Tuesday... lazy day! Slept in till 10:30, then roused our lazy butts to go down to Greve to do some grocery shopping, find an internet cafe that'll let me plug in my little USB drive (no luck!), and get a train schedule (again, no luck)... well, I'm on ...
Rain, rain, rain...
... ate a wonderful lunch (tortellini in cream sauce with pruscuttio, wine and cheese), and sat out more hard rain. Then we drove back to Greve, hitting a vineyard on the way back, and on to the Internet Pointe... I still cannot put my pix up, they won't let ...
Strange wine tasting!
No, not strange wines - just a strange venue! We found a funny little sign off an alley in Greve - said "Taste 100's of Wines"... hmm... intriguing! So we (Dan, Eric and I) went in. You buy a card, say, for 20 euro, and stuck it into a slot in one of ...
Death Hike in the Cinque Terra
Getting behind on my entries again... I will have to sit down with my and Erics journals when we get home (which is only in 2 days, sigh...) and put the pictures up and complete the adventures! Well, we are down to 8 people now, Pam left for Spain ...

Last Day in Italy...

Pisa today
... to this online journal! We have been busy today, at least. Eric and I woke up at 5:45 am and took the bus to Greve, then to Florence, then the train to Pisa! Toured around in the blazing heat (yes, it finally stopped raining!) and met up with Pam, ...
The first Wine Festival
Sunday the 12th... attended our first Chianti Wine Festival today, in downtown Greve. Man, this is good stuff! As I feared, my wine tasting knowledge has made of me a snob - last time I was here I was drinking the house wine and loving it - this time I'm ...
Settled into the Castle!
... 't do dial-up, only wireless or ethernet - it's spoiled!!). I'll try to find an internet cafe in Greve today, so I can download pix. Anyways! Got into Italy without mishap... that was the end of that! Ralph wanted to get the rental cars right away, so ...
Supertuscan to the rescue.

Under the Tuscan Sun
... a little garden out back with a table. Greve is the main town in a valley of the Chianti wine region, that's why it's called Greve in Chianti. There are big hills all around and it seemed like any land that didn't have a house on it (which was ...
Last Day in Tuscany

TUSCANA - I LOVE YOU

The Castles you have when you don't have castles
We thought we might visit a few of the local castles. Everywhere we looked there was a "Castilla" or equivalent on a sign, so we guessed that there some interesting old buildings around. With high hopes we set off for Castello di Montefiorealle. What was ...
