Traveling to Italy

[Innkeeper]

Hi Soon to Travel, and welcome to the Wine Board. When it comes to wines, travelling to Italy is much easier than travel to, say, California. In CA you have to know what wines you are interested in, where they are, and who makes them; planning your trip around all that. In Italy you simply look at the food on your plate an say either "rosso" or "bianco." Like politics in the U.S., in Italy all wine is local. The down side is that other than the few bottles you may bring back with you, you may never see that wine you loved again. Only a fraction of the wines made in Italy are imported into the U.S.
