Oh, my gosh, I didn't mention the highlight of the week!!  Silly me!!  Antonella and Maurizio's Vitis Vinifera wine tasting osteria opened Saturday night and Sunday!  It's in the deep 'cave' next to the old meat market on the main street, carved into the mountain!!  Here's the website, but it doesn't do it justice by any means.  I'll write more later, but if you are planning a trip or know someone who is coming over - this is a MUST SEE!!
