EWBC2011, sunday wine shot

With the American Wine Bloggers Conference in full swing over in Portland – tweets from friends there brought to mind the excellent time spent last year in the European version. Trips out to the vineyards are my favourite part of the EWBC. This photo was taken on one such outing to the Bastianich Estate in Fruili. The lowering sun cast a lovely glow over the vines who, in turn, were just dipping into their autumnal colours.

Sunlight on Italian Vines, Bastianich Estate, Fruili, Italy – the latest in the Sunday Snapshots series of photographs with a wine related theme, whether bottles, glasses, vineyards or the back scenes of wineries.

Wine Tasting Tuscan Style

Opening with the ‘basic’ wines he was almost apologetic at their simplicity. Personally I found them a delight; no idea of price at the time (the top of the range comes in at a very reasonable €20 cellar door) but to a bottle these ‘lesser’ wines were lovely, offering a balanced richness, a true regional acidic streak in the RI.VA.LE Chianti and a touch riper, softer palate to the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.
