Jeff’s journey through the Veneto is NOT complete without digging deeper into the great wines AND minds of the region. To better understand what makes the region so great Jeff goes fossil hunting & along the way forgets his wine key and glasses...but when there are thirsty people about...a way is always found.
Between Florence & Siena, two of the most famous cities in Europe, Jeff discovers the history, legends, and passions of those who make one of the world’s most famous wines: Chianti Classico.
What does it take to find one of the world’s greatest wine pairings? Get up super early, be really cold, fall in some mud and have a great truffle hunting dog. Jeff is in the heart of Barolo & Barbaresco in TRUFFLE season...what could be better?
Jeff only scratched the surface on his last trip to Piedmont searching for truffles. Now Jeff explores where the Slow Food movement was created, gets farming lessons & yes...more gelato!
