And Dow tends to offer good value but that is a standout! Have fun in Tuscany! I'm sure you know many fun places but one out of the way spot you might want to try is Corzano e Paterno. They have accommodations in the agriturismo (but I assume you're all set for that now), make some good wines as well as cheeses from their goats and honey. Fun stuff! Cheers, Hey Richard –

I had the last one last year and it still stands out as the best port I've had. The house definitely under performed in the 70s and 80s. As for auction values, I picked up a case of the Dow '91 about a month ago for $45/bot. Great stuff for the price. -Richard P.S. I'm off to Tuscany next week. Any suggestions for winery visits?
