Welcome, Friends and family our goal with this blog is to help you keep tabs on what we've been up to after moving to Italy in 2007, by sharing some of our experiences with you. We have many of our old favorite places yet we always seem to stumble into something really cool just when we think we've seen everything. Our goal is to share these new experiences, along with an occasional wine or travel tip.
Sincerely,
Robert and Leslie Alexander

Seasonal rhythms

vine triming
As the vine trimming season draws to a close, and green harvest is mostly done, most of the vineyard work shifts to the winery to prepare for harvest
Sticky 2012
At 8:00 in the morning the humidity was higher than the temp this means we are going to have a very sticky day
sciabola
The best way to beat the heat is to grab some bubbles a chef knife and a friend with a ready glass for sciabola.
Dolcetto 2012
It's only the end of July but these Dolcetto grapes are telling us harvest is just around the corner. Some wineries say they may be starting harvest mid August.
