A Winelover's Wanderings

Sunday 5-28-06

This was the last night in our apartment, so you can guess where we had dinner. Yep, our old favorite right down the road, La Crocina. We had vowed to eat Bistecca Fiorentina while we were in Italy, so that is what we picked. They had a minimum cut of 30 oz, so we shared that with their really good French fries and a great tiramisu for dessert. Alvaro, our waiter, helped us pick a brunello to go with it - 2000 Montecarbello.

All I can say is yum!

Right in the same building as the restaurant was Piombaia, which was kind of a wine shop. Bill made friends with Vittorio there, so I thought a farewell photo was appropriate.
