| A lecture and tasting in Balsamic Vinegars. We do several classes while on tour. |
 |
| This was our group this fall. I can't tell you when we have had a more exciting and fun loving group. Robin, my associate, is in the white shirt. The guests are from all over the U.S. How very proud I was to be their leader this year! They loved discovering, learning and appreciated everything, especially about great wines and delicious foods! What is there not to love about this region! |

 |
| Our favorite well known butcher friend, Dario, in his shop. Holding court, as usual! He is such a fine host! |
 |
| The mornings were cool and nothing better than that smell of burning wood taking away the chill in homes ~the burning firewood was addicting. Honestly, it was hard to leave this year....counting the days until my next tour. |
