...everywhere. This morning it poured! Luckily that didn't ruin any of our day. We headed to the town, Panzano, in the area that had their market this morning. We bought a bunch of fresh veggies, meats and cheeses. We then headed to a town (mark on the map) that they recommended to us when we checked in (Badia a Coltibouno). There was a church (?), a restaurant, a winery/tasting room, and that's it. I guess that is a town as really what more could you ever need? Lunch was great, and the massive place ended up being completely full with the lunatics that bike Tuscany. Everyone but us seemed to have a reservation. Most came in soaking wet. Lunch was followed by a stop at the tasting room down the hill. We tasted a few of the producers wines and olive oils. Neither of us have ever done an olive oil tasting, so that was very interesting. High quality olive oils have a bitter taste. When you taste sweet, that is the sign of a very low quality. The rain had completely stopped and the sun was shining by the time we left the tasting area. After a day of markets, wine, and touring the area close to the villa we headed home to cook a great dinner.
