Italia Chianti Vino ...

After sleeping in a bit we woke up and enjoyed breakfast with a cappuccino(of course) and decided to take a walk to town to use an ATM. The trip turned in to just a nice stroll on a crisp morning, because there was no ATM around. We headed back to the hotel and hung out and took pictures for a bit. We headed out with Stacy and Doug to our wine tasting at Costello De Trebbino. We took tons of photos before the rest of the people showed up for the tour.
This place is the LAST CASTLE IN ROME OCCUPIED, yes people live in a castle! I got to go in:) We learned all about the castle, the family, the wine, and olive oil. The Chianti is the most popular and famous wine in this area (I mean it is called the Chianti wine for a reason). The wine was amazing, the olive oil fresh and delicious. We all bought wine and oil and headed back to Florence.
In Florence, we went in to leather shops and I went in to ZARA(I love Zara). We then wandered for over 45 minutes to find a restaurant. We found one and enjoyed a smaller family owned restaurant! The server was hilarious and super animated! He bokked (yes bokked, like a chicken) when he served Stacy her chicken dish. We left dinner and went on a hunt for a famous Gelato place in Florence (had to get before leaving famous Florence). We found GROM, I ordered 1/2 hazelnut, 1/2 coffee. It was pretty delicious! A great way to wrap up another amazing day!
