Norm, I had the pleasure of enjoying that fine Italian wine on balconies for almost 7 years while serving in the U.S. Army... frequently accompanied by classicly beautiful ladies...
I didn't know Mauro and Paolo then, but as I recall, ...I didn't miss them either
. As a soldier in a foreign land, I didn't have many gun privileges that didn't come directly out of the arms room while wearing a green suit of clothing...
After several minutes of glassy eyed reminiscing, let me encourage you to push that dream to the top of your future 'to-do' list, while I put Italian Wine on the shopping list...
The 'next' time I go to Italy... Hopefully in the next year or so, I plan to look up these two Luger amicos... and discuss Lugers and wine... I was single then... but I am not now...
"thanks for the memories"
