I much prefer the wine of Piedmont over Tuscany. Sangiovese isn't my favorite grape. What I do like of it is usually at the higher end and I'm told Brunello's are a lot cheaper over there.

Doubt we'll be doing a lot of winery tours. Mostly just relaxed sight seeing.

As far as bad wines here, you should give Old Ghost a try!

A friend went to Italy... - mkuller 15:40:53 06/11/18 (1)
...a few years ago and had dinner at a restaurant he really liked. He ordered the house wine and thought it was very good.

They went back and ate there again late in the evening and he got the house wine again but it wasn't as good.

He looked around as the restaurant was getting ready to close and saw the waiters pouring any wine left from the bottles on the table into a vat marked "house wine".

It's always an adventure.

  Back in the day, I worked at a wine store that did wine tasting dinners at some of Houston's top restaurants. After a particularly fancy one we helped cleaned up by pouring the left over glasses into a wine bucket. We, the employees, were pretty toasted afterward. One of the guys offered to down a glass on a bet. He was extra toasty.
