I spent nine glorious days in Italy. Here are my favorite wines I had, in no particular order. They are all refreshing, light whites and bright, airy reds-- the kind of versatile and approachable wines that are crowd pleasers even (when you're traveling) with non-wine-drinkers. I wish I'd taken more meticulous notes other than, "This is really fucking good", but hey, I think that is the most important note of all.
I can't wait to add them to my personal wine collection back here in the states!
• Elena Walch 2012 Pinot Nero Alto Adige
• Giuseppe Quintarelli Bianco Secco & Pinot Grigio
• Antoniolo 2011 Juvenia Coste della Sesia Nebbiolo
• Angiolino Maule I Masieri Bianco Veneto
• This one that I can't freaking find anywhere, it looks like "M1oo0 Lazio" but my photo is too blurry and I didn't have service in the restaurant and then I forgot to look it up again. Sigh. I will add it as soon as I find out from the restaurant what it was because it was fantastic.
• One million Aperol Spritzes
• All the free champagne first class would give me
