| Sagrantino Vines at ColSanto |
Just a Thursday night, not a dinner, nothing formal, just some of Graziano’s colleagues getting together with a friend who works at the ColSanto Winery, to taste some recent vintages.

We went with some new friends, Amanda and Ryan who were here on their honeymoon. They are great wine tasting partners, with well traveled palates and can keep up with us.
