More wine


It seems like so long ago, but I ticked off something on my list. I've wanted to learn more about wine for a long time so doing it in Italy was the best way to do it.

Italy was beautiful and we drank a lot of wine and a lot of aperol. The wine tasting was in Florence, in the Tuscan School of Wine. It was a rather innocuous building which didn't look like the right place from the outside. However, once we were through the door we were surrounded by wine. It was a whistle-stop tour of Tuscan wine and we tried 6 in total. This included one white, four reds and a dessert wine. I didn't think I was a fan of dessert wine and Spanish wine is more my thing. However, learning more about what makes a chianti classico a chianti classico and about the DOC system was fascinating. The six glasses of wine helped the time fly by!
