Today I received a wonderful, hugely entertaining book on the dogs that populate the wineries of Italy, which even features our own pooches: Boris, my father’s old Chow Chow, and  Jago and Winnie, the two long-haired German Shepherds that live in our old courtyard. This is a small tribute to these great friends, who are always ready with a “smile” and who give us priceless moments of joy even when the vintage is far from perfect!
