Very cool. I'd love to visit there myself.<br /><br />Mark, yes, it was worth more than the $20 at auction it cost. We didn't finish the bottle and surprisingly it held up overnight.

This post brings back fond memories. My ...Vincent,<br /><br />This post brings back fond memories. My wife and I visited this estate in 2000 while touring Chianti Classico and later had lunch with one of the Antinori daughters at another location (Santa Maria, I think). It was a beautiful location and is still a working monastery. As I recall, the monks aren't fond of the Antinoris, even though they let them stay there rent-free after acquiring the property. It was a weird dynamic.<br /><br />I have since bought several vintages of this wine, a few of which I may still have not yet opened.Andy Perduehttp://www.winepressnw.comnoreply@blogger.com
