This picture is, in fact, from the traditional drying racks at Masi where the grapes are undergoing appassimento, soon to take the next step to becoming amarone. The lunch and tasting were very interesting and I will post more details next week (if all goes according to plan).

Anyway, on to the prize! If it were for quickest precision, it would go to Fred Swan. If it were for humor, Mr Taz has it with the Alaskan winery comment.

But the random number generated was #9 so Bryan in Niagara is the winner! Come on down! Send in your address and have fun with your signed copy of A Year of Wine.

Cheers,

That’s my final answer. It also could be recioto della Valpolicella as some are saying, but it comes from the same place, being Veneto.

Still; I’ll stick with the Veneto.
