Report from - Arrival in Verona, Italy ... January 27, 2012

After more than 12 hours worth of travel and 24+ hours of being awake I am finally in Verona, Italy for the Anteprima Amarone 2008 ... the pre-tasting of the Amarone wines coming out on the world markets. Saturday is tasting day and later today there will be a Gala Dinner. I seem to have come down with a bit of a cold and with so many hours awake I fear I missed said dinner (yes I said missed) ... but not before I struck out into the streets near where I am staying to grab a few pictures ... I'll admit that none of these have anything to do with wine, okay maybe one picture does ... those of you wanting to read about wine will be thrilled with the next four days as there will be nothing but, though I think food is also on the agenda (these dinners I will not miss) ... but for those missing the look of the old world in their lives and some interesting sites feast your eyes on these: (click to see pics)
