Yes, yes, yes. I've gone on a trip through Tuscan Way (two actually) and everything here is so on point. So much great food,
so much amazing wine, and memories I will remember forever. Thanks again Carlo!

Dear OBRIANKF, Your blog is brilliant and so useful. I'm going to print it and make copies for friends going to Rome and keep a copy for us in our tour book. We visited the Necropolis under the Vatican. Astonishing. Thank you again for your great writing.

Hi obrienkf,
Don't apologize for writing such a great blog! I enjoyed every word and agree with lhbrown that traveler's should take a copy of this on their trip!

Hi obrienkf,
Thank you for this excellent blog on the Vatican. Anybody visiting Rome should make a copy of this blog and take along as reference. It is chuck-full of excellent and valuable information in a nutshell. You summed it up very nicely.

Hi obrienkf,
I truly enjoyed your report on the Riesling Trail and Clare Valley. From time to time we had a chance to buy Australian wines/rieslings and they were excellent. However, living in Paris, more often than not we buy Alsatian Riesling and Moselle wines when we can get it. France is very protective of its wine industry and it can be hard to find Australian or German Rieslings.

Hi obrienkf,
Another excellent trip report. I enjoyed reading about the Barosso Valley and its wine route. You seem to be quite the wine aficionado.

Hi obrienkf,
Excellent report. I truly enjoyed reading about your experience in the Yarra Valley and the Chateau Yering and are looking forward to read about your next trip to the Dandenong Ranges. Makes me want to go there if only it wouldn't be that far...
