Montepulciano was a highlight of our trip to Italy. Went to four different

wineries and had wine shipped home from three of them. We still have several of the better bottles for special occasions. Florence was also awesome but EXTREMELY crowded when we were there. Long waits for dinner because most places don't take reservations. However, the food was excellent when we finally got it. :) Enjoy.
