Anything but Port, this includes all wines other than fortified wines (which have their own section) even if they call themselves Port. There is a search facility for this part of the forum.

Visit to Italy

Post by smisse »

Just back from my summerholiday to lovely Italy and made some nice purchases in Tuscany. I can certainly recommend both Tuscany and Umbria as regions to visit. Good food, Great wines and Superb Cities & Nature.

This should help me through wintertime together with my Ports of course ;)
