We just got back to Holland (we are American’s living overseas for 3-5 years) from a wonderful Italian visit where we got to visit Cinque Terra. You CAN drink red wine there, as the web page mentions, but it’s not made locally. The wine that is local is white wine, and we enjoyed it very much.

I think the Cinque Terre is the best place I’ve ever been, and not just for the beautiful hiking and villages. The people who live there are great, and there’s a special friendly spirit among the travellers who stop there, cooking meals together and sharing nice apartments by the night. While you could get a…
