When in France, I will be doing some tasting...wine tasting...a lot of it... And all this talk of Burgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne, Alsace and Loire regions got me thinking back to incredible time I had spent savoring the delights of Tuscany. This, combined perhaps with a little bit of guilt for never documenting the experience, is why today I've decided to deviate from my Paris-based posts, and shift the focus to my time in the Tuscany region...

| If you don't see the rooster on the label, then it's not a "real" Chianti... |

| The wine cellars at Castello di Querceto |

| What can you say, I heart Chianti!! |
