What, it's Thursday already? So much to do before heading across the Pond again.
So here's the itinerary:
1. JFK to CDG to the Loire. Haven't figured out the wineries we'll visit but thank you all for the great suggestions.
2. Paris for a day and a half.
3. Flight to Naples, then drive to near Sulmona in Abruzzo. Visit with the lovely Pietrantonj family at their winery.
4. Back to Naples, hopping around Campania with Fortunato Sebastiano. Tasting of coastal and mountain Aglianicos and Fianos.
5. Fly to Trieste, drive to Friuli with young Mr. X , he of the stunning dessert wines.
6. Fly to Rome, spend a night after saying hi to the Pantheon, fly to JFK.
Folks, my arms are already tired!
What a blast!
enjoy the trip...

I'm exercising my infinite Strappo charm.
You had to ask?

Tracie don't let him fool you is not the charm...is the dollar that opens up vineyard doors and dinner treats. They hope Mr. Strappo will bring their wines abroad...

Gabrio, you beastin'. With the $$ going the way it is today, charm may be all that's left.
