CHIANTI, Italy - The Chianti Wine Tour was a trip that I had been looking forward to for quite some time. There’s a certain level of sophistication associated with wine tasting in Tuscany. I almost didn’t make it, actually. After our weekend in Viareggio, I didn’t realize what day it was and almost walked to school instead of our meeting place, which was the Bibliotecca Nazionale. Luckily, I ran into Joy and her roommates along the way.
Our tour guide was a California guy who met an Italian girl and never left, and he actually was very good. He explained the history behind the cantinas we visited as well as the nuances between the different wines he poured for us. Some of us were better than others at holding our alcohol. I most certainly was buzzing, I will admit. The good news is that no one got hurt.
