Siena and Banfi Vineyard.

We have arrived in Siena! Excited to explore this tiny walled medieval town! 
On the way, we stopped at Banfi Winery... 
it supposedly has some of the best wine in Italy. 
Their wine is sangiovese grapes, and is 
located near Montalcino. 
We toured the winery and then had a wine tasting with 
a three course lunch at Castel Banfi. It was so delicious. 
We had cheese, thick rope-like pasta noodles with tomato & beef sauce, veal with potatoes, and biscotti with espresso.
The Tuscan countryside was absolutely beautiful.
If only I had a rich uncle with no children who would leave me a large sum of money so I could buy a castle in Tuscany and look at the green rolling hills everyday!
