A regular visitor has pointed out that several recent posts weren't flagged by Google Reader, so you may not have been aware of the brief postings about a short trip to Basilicata and some other tidbits about Campania.
Until I get a real wi-fi connection it will be this way...thanks for your patience.
I am now on the train to Grosseto, from which we will head for Montecucco tomorrow. I can't insert links to past articles here, but the object of the visit is to see two interesting producers whose wines we tasted in December, Piandibugnano and Schiaccionaia.
By the way, as we were driving through Naples this morning, I got a strong Blade Runnerish feel from the place. Depressing to think that could be our common future.
I'll indulge in one of my famous generalizations and declare that the interior of Campania is a pleasant surprise, green and clean with lovely people, while the coastal zone is a terrible mess. Too bad every guidebook ignores the interior even as it softpeddles the utter crumminess all around Naples.
Fortunato, a son of Campania, feels strongly that way, so it isn't just this prejudiced dickweed of an American shooting his ignorant mouth off.
