To everybody else, that was some solid guessing too.

Cheers,

Bravo, you nailed it!! Here was the original message from Wolfgang:

“The full answer would be “the Cartizze hill (which is a ‘cru’) in Valdobbiadene, Treviso (northern Veneto), Italy”. I suppose “Valdobbiadene” is acceptable. So it’s the land of prosecco–your short post about the Zardetto you drank after hiking at the beach inspired me to send this in.”

Wolfgang is the ITALIAN wine critic at Wine & Spirits magazine btw–his name, in this case, appears to have been a red herring!

I think we should all open a Col Vetoraz prosecco to celebrate Henri getting this right!

So, Valdobbiadene? Perhaps even the rarely encountered Cartizze?

I liked Morton Leslie’s logic. But it IS Italy…A bubbly, pick-me-up part of Italy…

(Gianni Vescovo & Livio Zorzettig)
from another Friuli area I’ll take a third-time-charm guess:
Isonzo del Friuli, I insist…

I’m there now (here now?) actually and the trees are in bloom exactly like that in this photo.

Hmm, I’ll give a clue: It’s a about 45 minutes driving fast from a sinking city.

NOT here…I had thought of Haute Savoie, which I’d love to visit, but…am I allowed two guesses?? It looks like it might be Colli Orientali del Friuli, but something inme whispers, ‘Those are the Umbrian hills!!’

Dr.Vino, hope to meet you when i come to celebrate my Silver Aniversary @ NYU wkend of May 16-18!

Wolfgang said that he took it in April a couple of years ago…

Trees are flowering, everything’s very green, ivy is at least half a meter up the tree trunk, quite a bit of length on the growing grass already, and it’s only late March. Red clay roofs strongly suggest Italy or parts of France. Piemonte, or even farther toward the Alps, Valle d’Aosta? Or is that not yet warm enough this time of year?

Wish it had been Japan. I’m dying to go there!
