And their wine prices are much more reasonable than ours. We had good whites for 12 to 15 euros in restaurants. Quality reds such as Brunello's for under 35 euros. Eating out in general was amazingly cheap compared to the US. No taxes and no tips on the check.
I "found" a new varietal in Umbria that I really enjoy, Sagrantino di Montefalco. Dense wine like a Zin, but with a different flavor profile. It is tannic so try to find one with at least five years on it.
