If you enjoy wine — and really, isn’t that almost a requirement to visit or live here? — then at some point you’re going to want to find a nice wine store. Whether you’re visiting or living here, it’s one of those important things to know. G and I highly recommend Enoteca Italiana on the wonderfully named Via Malcontenti, not far from Via Indipendenza.

While Charlie and I were out walking this afternoon, he was sightseeing with his nose, and I was sightseeing with my eyes. Both of us had plenty to enjoy.
