My mother and I had some Chianti Classico Riserva Rocca delle Macie at lunch; it was quite nice. She first ordered some Pinot Grigio, but she is not a fan of white wines. We both had a glass of this instead. We watched a Golden Girls episode last night in which Sophia makes a wisecrack about narrow streets and drinking Chianti in Sicily, so I decided it would be nice to try this (narrow streets optional). With a delicious lunch, and a nice breezy day, I would say we had a lovely break from all of the stress lately.
