Enoteca Fuoripiazza - the restaurant was recommended by Senor Fiore at the Vineyard we visited. He said the food and wine here was excellent.
Celebrating Michael's birthday in Greve in Chianti with a bottle of our favorite - Il Carbonaione!
Senor Fiore was right about the wine!!! We had a bottle of his 2000 vintage.
Salute!
Enjoying the wine. This would be our first full bottle of the day. We each had 2 glasses at the winery.
The special board. You know we had to try the specials! They were highly recommended by the waiter - who used to work at a restaurant in SoHo.
