On the way back from Giglio we stopped in Montalcino and Montepulciano. Masa, Sadao, Toshi, and I had a wine tasting at a small Slow Food enoteca appropriately named "Bachus." It was a funky little place that had a very friendly staff and was a little off the main street so not as touristy. It rained almost the entire trip back so there are no panoramic shots of the area--it is beautiful!
I had never been to Montepulciano. It is a neat city, much bigger than Montalcino and it probably hosts more visitors. We came across an enoteca that invited people to tour the underground cellars-hence the video. It was very interesting and all of the barrels were full of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. We did taste a few wines there too.

I think someone bought the soundtrack to "Rome". :)
