On Monday, after I spent time in Trento, Vin Italy and Venezia, we started our tour of the amazing vineyards in an area north of Trento high in the Dolomite’s called Valle di Cembra. Cembra is one of the many small communes that dot the mountains in this area that has to be seen to believe anything can be this beautiful.

So it’s about 7:11pm as we pull into Verona. I was hoping to write about my experiences in Italy day by day but…….I didn’t think to buy an electrical converter and there wasn’t wireless anywhere except Florence.Every day was awsome, the scenery was breathtaking and the wines from Trento have to get world wide recognition!! I will write more as soon as I can get online.
A couple things to remember when going to Italy…. say Ciao and Si 5 to 7 times in rapid succession to sound like you belong but you only need to say Grazie and Giorno (Bon not nessecary) three or four times!
Ciao Ciao Ciao Ciao Ciao Ciao!
Tonight I get on a plane and travel to Verona to attend Vin Italy! I have never been and was told by a respected colleauge that I had better wear comfortable shoes and get ready to run. I can’t wait!
I arrive on Friday and will be driven to Verona and then attend the event on Friday and Saturday.
On Sunday i am not scheduled for anything so I am going to take a train to Venice, just to take pictures and see it!
Then we travel to Tuscany to visit the wineries that the company represents and will be there for three days. I hope to get to Montalcino!
I am taking my laptop so hopefully I can update every day, plus post pictures as I go.
Ciao!!
