Inside the Tuscan Hills - PBS

Just noticed that my local PBS station is showing a series on Tuscany which started last week. Six different episodes starting with #1 Chianti, #2 Chianti and Central Tuscany, #3 Cortona, Montipulciano and the Val D'Orcia, #4 Montalcino and Maremma,#5 Ruffina and Pontasseive, #6 Northern Tuscany.
In my area it is on Tuesday nights and Sunday mornings.

Any more information on the title? I've been searching for 10 mins now on the PBS site and can't find it... Not on those days, not by Italy, Tuscany, Chianti...



Perhaps it is just not offered in my area? (seems weird if they taped 6 shows!)

Sorry for being dense...

I found it under the name Inside the Tuscan Hills. My cousin lives in Cincinnati and it was on the Dayton PBS channel tonight. In KY it's on Tuesday and Sunday.

I just tried it on google and many different stations list it so maybe you can locate it on there.

I cannot find it... WXXI is our station, at least you're making me feel better cigalechanta.
I found a review of it at...
http://www.travellady.com/Issues/Nov...sideTuscan.htm, but I still can't find it in my area

cigalechanta, I just did a search on 'check other PBS stations' and I can find it... apparently it is not yet offered in our markets

KYBourbon, if they have a videa/dvd offer, post for us please! Thanks... KAMG

Can't find it in my area either (I'm in Orange County, CA). The funny thing is that I was watching at my Mom's this past weekend & she's in LA. Maybe it's the cable service. I saw the #6 episode. I'm so bummed I can't see it

I'm having trouble posting tonight so it here goes another try. The production company is www.fiftyrubies.com and that is where I saw the DVD for sale. See if this next link helps for info about the series. It gives a brief description of each episode. http://www.ket.org/watch/a-z/

It debuted November 1 but it does not appear among NYC's listings.
