Dear readers, give me a break. The next two weeks me and my computer will be separated, as much as possible at least. I think that's healthy. But the thought of doing no postings also gives me a somewhat uncomfortable feeling: maybe readers will walk away from a blog that remains idle for more than two weeks. But well, I will have to take that risk.
I will be visiting the Maremma. Tuscany's fascinating young wine region near the sea (sea is mare in Italian). With the renown production area Bolgheri, named after the tiny little village in the plains. But I rather visit neighbouring picturesque hillside village Castagneto Carducci. There I will find some great bottles at my favourite enoteca − later I will share with you name and address.
Besides being a wine region, this part of Italy is one of the most beautiful and heavenly places in Europe. I can't wait to go. And luckily I don't have to.
Maybe I will share some wine experience with you in the coming weeks. I'm sure I will be drinking great stuff like Grattamacco (de-li-cious) or their second wine, simply called Bolgheri Rosso; or Sassicaia's second wine "Guidalberto", or third wine "Le Difese". Or Le Macchiole. Anyway, many very interesting wines to taste!
I'll be back. Thanks for your patience.

Le Macchiole is superb. Try to taste the 2004 Paleo. Le Macchiole is the best producer today in the area together with Tua Rita and Ornellaia.
When you go a little up north to Castellina, you should visit Castello del Terriccio. Awesome wines and, one of the worlds finest wine properties. If you need some help to get in let me know.
Have fun
best, Ralph
Ok, live and I was born here, so I might be a little bit biased, but trust me on this one. And by the way, if you need any info feel free to contact me.
