museo del vino
we stopped at the museum of wine in san gimignano. it was about three rooms and a tasting room. one of the rooms was very helpful. it had a video regarding the wine making process and the history of the region.
we also really enjoyed the wine tasting room. we tasted four different wines for 6 EUR. two reds and two whites. we really enjoyed tasting the two white wines from san gimignano. they were like a crisp pinot grigio. we brought three bottles of it back to detroit. it was something different from what we have seen here in the US. we had thought we were getting it for free since we offered to pay for it at the beginning. well, it turns out we were paying for it when we were done? oh well. it was the most generous pours we had anywhere for a tasting. the sommelier was very helpful in offering recommendations on where to go purchase the wine and knowledgeable about the different local wines we drank.
we could have skipped the museum, but the tasting was very helpful for understanding the local wines!
