Updated look

The winery is beginning to look more like a winery and less like a construction site.

Greetings from the city of (unhappy) love!

So, today we are in Verona - the city of Romeo and Juliet - at Vinitaly wine fair.

Today seems pretty quiet here, so A. paid a quick visit to the Tuscany and Sardinia halls and came back steaming with envy. In case you haven't been to Vinitaly, the fair is divided into halls based on the wine regions of Italy. Usually Tuscany has a huge hall, twice as big as other regions. Whereas Abruzzo (being the chronically underdeveloped South as one wine atlas presented it) shares the hall with some other underdogs, for example this year with Val d'Aosta and Liguria. Contrary to Abruzzo hall's quietly meditative atmosphere, in Tuscany area there seems to be a real rock festival taking place and according to A. it's so packed with people that resembles London underground during the days of Christmas shopping.

We've got our own small attraction here - we take photos of people who want to try out the long-haired Italian look and afterwards end this small souvenir to them via e-mail. On this photo G is trying out the Italian look. His own hair look more-or-less the same, so no big difference :)
