Author: Antonio Created: 1/15/2007 8:34 AM
Antonio’s passion for travelling and learning never ends. In April, 2006 he went to Verona (Italy) to attend the 40th Vinitaly, a prestigious exhibition of the world’s best wine production. Then he travelled two wine areas: Valpolicella (Veneto) and Chianti (Tuscany). The following reports, news and photographs are taken from his travel journal.

Una notte di stelle

Montreal-Frankfurt. A 7 hour 55 minute flight. One of the smoothest flights I have ever taken over the Atlantic.
