Wine Tasting

 At the foot of Mt. Etna is a thriving and growing wine industry.  Apparently the volcanic soils are good for growing grape vines.  Our neighbor in Bonaire has a vineyard  outside of Taomina,  Sicily.  He invited us to visit, so we did. This is a view of the vineyard with Mt. Etna in background.
We drove up the mountain on a road with hairpin turns that snaked through tiny villages. the views were spectacular. 


 

We had lunch and lots of wine all compliments of our Bonaire neighbor. I thought you might enjoy a photo of us  before and after the wine tour and tasting.
