Briefly Basilicata

Went to Basilicata today with Fortunato Sebastiano. The region is usually descried as bleak, desert-like and dangerous, but the green, blossoming springtime aspect of the place was stunning today in its big-sky beauty. I'll write a long post with photos when I have a real wi-fi connection and not this Blackberry. The real point of the corto viaggio sentimentale was to visit a very small family winery that makes Aglianico del Vulture from very old vines, some over 80 years old. Lots of potential. That will be part of that long post too. Meanwhile, Ken wants everyone to know this important fact: Il gatto e' nero. (He's learning Italian.) Ciaoooo.
