Rose... yes the Italian wines are awesome.  I&#39;m a lover of Chianti, which is a red blend - but I love it&#33;  I must say I also fell in love with the wine from Spain, especially the Roja.......  Europe has such culinary diversification which alone makes it more interesting than other cruising destinations.  Of course we&#39;re not even talking about the beauty of the landscape, the ancient buildings and structures and the interesting cultures and people. One can certainly spend weeks and months there.... a few days doesn&#39;t cut it - but maybe you&#39;ll be like some of us and RETURN AGAIN AND AGAIN&#33;&#33;  I&#39;m so jealous&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;
