CASTELLINA IN CHIANTI - While visiting the beautiful country side in Castellina, we attended a dinner recommended by the Hotel Colle Etrusco Salivolpi that we were staying at. Little did we know that we were sitting with a couple of vitners, doctors, producers and entrepreneurs. The following day there was a new receptionist at the front desk of the hotel, as we greeted her... She said she knew us. To our surprise we made the cover page of the local paper and in inadvertently became of local notability. We decided to visit a vineyard on our last day in Chianti. After a long drive on a beautiful scenic dirt road, we arrived at the vineyard... We thought that the vineyard may have been closed as there was no one around. As we were getting ready to leave, the owner pulled up to us in his car and was pleasantly surprised to see us... He immediately invited us for a private tour of his vineyard. As we were getting ready to leave, he invited us to a private wine tasting dinner. We learned intriguing things about wine and people... This just shows you that there is a reason for everything in life.
