The Banfi Estate is in Montalcino. Montalcino is SW of Siena, you'll have to drive up twisty mountain roads - but completely worth it! Banfi's flagship is a killer Brunello - they offer a luncheon (the best $42 you'll ever spend) for like 7 courses with wine for each in a beautiful castle. Extra careful on the twisty mountain roads after that!! Lots of other small wineries around that area, such as Antica Poggia offer tours, tastings and of course shops. Don't neglect the olive oil for sale, either!

Leigh,
thanks for your imput, lunch at Banfi sounds outstanding. Bob thanks for pointing out that most of Italy is wine country.. I am not sure what region I want to visit, how much time I will spend, the only certain plans I have is Rome for business, three days, April, May or June of 04. Simply looking for compelling stories.
