This past week, so much delicious wine! :)

Biking down the hill from our house heading out for a mid-day mountain bike ride
The view from the top of Siena.
We climbed 400 stairs in the center of town.
The piazza below is used for annual horse races.
Me pulling money out of the oldest
bank in the world.
It still functions.

Nate at the Duomo in Siena.











Vegetables from the organic market in Siena
Pouring wine from a concret barrel.
Fresh 2012 Sangiovese vino.
~Swishing the vino to allow it to breath before tasting~
 The most beautiful glasses of wine. Yup the one above is 
sparkling wine. It is almost like a beer, it has spontaneous fermentation...
the most refreshing wine I ever drank!
These are both biodynamic wines grown in the Chianti region.
 A photo with the wine makers of the wine you see above.
An adorable couple that makes delicious wines.

The fall colors are amazing!
Cracking walnuts outside on a beautiful day.
A.C. Siena football stadium. Nate and our Brazilian winemaking friend Fernando.
Smallest soccer stadium in the Italian Serie A, there is not a bad seat in the house.
The italian bakeries are so tasty!
:)  Pizza  :)

The tuscany region is so beautiful, everyday I am in awe of the colors all around me, sunrise, 
sunsets, moonrise, fall leaves.
Again I tell you, I feel so blessed to be living here!

  1. I love all of your pictures! I was moved looking at the last pic of the recent waxing moon... it looked exactly the same here in the Texas sky when Jed and I were appreciating it a few days ago. All my love to you!
