Tuscany Wine Tasting

Tuscany Wine Tasting Day-

What a great day! We started at a Casa Emma where we got a tour of the facility and then sat down for a small wine tasting. We learned about the Chianti Grape Region and tried a few different wines: Chianti Classico, Chanti Classico Reserve, and Super Tuscan.

Then we headed over to San Gimignano Region and went to a wine tasting at torciano. This was a crazy event. The fed us 3 courses of food( which was awesome) and over 10 types of wines. By the end we were all "happy customers." www.torciano.com

After all our wine drinking we went back to florence and took a trip to the School of Leather. The school is in an old church called Santa Croce. Below i posted a picture of them engraving initials on the leather. Very beautiful things!! Here is the website: www.leatherschool.com

Tommorow Kenny and I are going to take a quick one night trip to Venice...hopefully its as romantical as everyone says! =)

Ciao!
