CHIANTI



I have always wanted to go to some of the little towns in Chianti, an area known for not only for the great wine but also for the wonderful food.  The towns are small and most picturesque.  Wild Boar is one of the main specialties and every specialty shop seems to have a tradition of generations preparing and specialising in the most wonderful cheeses, salami's, meats etc all reared and produced by that family.  One can buy a ticket for 5 or 10 euros to try the marvellous wine but that does not go very far when many bottles cost over 100 euros.  Still it is fun to get a tasting plate and a glass of excellent wine and sit out on the lovely piazza.
