Blogging in the car on the way to Chianti today (as Carl is cruising along at 150 km per hour).

Before we left Scottsdale, some new friends of ours happened to mention that another couple that are members of our club own a winery in Chianti. As a result, they coordinated a tasting and tour for us during our visit.
