Tony, I don't know if you are former military, but when we went to the area to visit our daughter (who was military family), the military offered many great tours using locals as tour guides. May be worth checking out if it applies. I, too, am really jealous. I would love to go back.

I know I've been on the side for a while now. Still making wine but really busy at work, when I do most of my posting.

I am going to Milan for work/play. illy Cafe (the primary coffee/espresso we distribute) is a major corporate sponsor of Expo 2015 in Milan this summer. So my wife and I are going to spend two days at the Expo and a couple days in Milan. One of the days I am planning to take a private tour of a couple Amarone wineries in The Venito near Verona. Just a day trip there and back with a lunch in between the wineries. Suggestions on private ture companies and more importantly suggestions of a couple small wineries. I'm not at all interestead in Masi, Zonin, Alligrini or any of the big guys. I want up close and personal.
