We rode through some classic Tuscany scenery today. It is called "La Crete" and it is very beautiful with the tall skinny cypress trees mixed in with the yellows and reds. Montalcino is famous for its wine, The Brunello Di Montalcino. America loves the wine as it takes 25% of the exports. It is an expensive bottle. Today though it is as well known for scandal than for quality. Today America threatened to block all imports of Brunello because producers were accused of using other grapes in the wine.

One of my favorite bottles of wine so far - '97 Brunello di Montalcino. :-)
