I spend Saturday and night at with a dozen friends at this beautiful vineyard in the Ragusa province in southern Sicily, about 90 minutes from base. http://www.locandacos.it/english/default.htm
We arrived Saturday and spent the afternoon by the pool, then the owners held a wine tasting for us followed by a 5 course dinner. Sunday morning we had fresh baked crossaints and espresso along with a tour of the wine cellar. One of their wines is stored not in wooden barrels but in terra cotta urns buried in rock. (see above) That one was my favorite!
I start work tomorrow which I am looking forward to. I miss having a routine. Living in the bachelor's quarters is getting tiresome, too. I've been living out of the same suitcase since early July, and I'm ready to get settled into my new home.
