BARBARA-JO IS PICKING GRAPES IN ITALY
From Kurtis Kolt ...

"Anthony Nicalo of Farmstead Wine is currently in Italy wih Barbara-jo MacIntosh and is blogging about their experiences.  In asking him how this came about, he responded ...

"I was browsing the Italian gastronomy section in Books to Cooks and chatting with Barbara-jo when she casually mentioned that she had always dreamed of going to Italy to pick grapes. I said, "Let's go," and we booked our flights soon after. We flew to Torino on the 27th and are spending a week in Barbaresco for a week, which started September 28. We will be staying and working with Renato Fennochio's family. Participating in everything from picking grapes to cellar work. We will also be cooking and eating nearly every meal with the family. We have also arranged a tour of the famed University of Gastronomic Sciences with Canadian Rachel Black, who is currently studying there."

They've been having some pretty fun adventures, blog posts and video are on the front page at http://www.farmsteadwines.com ."
