I just looked at the website for your week of cooking in Tuscany. It looks wonderful. We were just in Montefollonico last fall and it was our favorite of all the walled-cities. Make sure you meet the local wine master, Vittorio Innocenti. He is a sweet man. We didn't care for most of his wines but we loved his tour and the view from his backyard is incredible. Make sure to look for the pomegranate trees!
