Bottles And Bottles

The top photo is the gate and entrance to the collection of first year bottles.  Pretty!  The second photo is of the far end of the tasting room, where they have ones of all the different kinds of brandy and bottles over the years.

Getting To The Glad

Despite several days of not working on this, visible and on track progress has been made.

Food For Tasting

We had all these lovely dishes of food to help us taste the wonderful brandy at Barza Alba.  Everything was home made, fresh, and delicious!

From My Colleagues

The consular section gave me this lovely piece at my farewell party.  I think it's beautiful!

One More Word

I managed to get the little flower patch and only one more word done this week.  Now that Tuscany Town Mandala is done, I can concentrate on working on other things.

Barza Alba Bottle Collection

Just off the tasting room Barza Alba has built a storage area for all its different kinds of brandy.  Here, they store the inaugural year of every type.  It's pretty impressive.
