In what has now become an annual tradition, some friends invite me to Istria to tour various wineries. For anyone that has not been, it is a region with wonderful wines, amazing food, truffles, and very helpful and knowledgeable people who are a joy to be around.

I decided the the only companion to bring would be the P15 we are all so proud of.

So, here are some pics.

Morning view.

Breakfast of champions. Espresso and grappa.

The road to heaven.

A cool, modern building hidden in nature.

The winery.

Obligatory wrist shot.

The view.

An old castle makes for a fun conversation.

The festivities begin.

Another prominent Purist joined. Always a pleasure to see him.

The table quickly filled up with different varieties.

Quick grappa time for P15.

A traditional Istrian dish: Fuzi (homemade pasta) with truffles, and some carpaccio. Obviously, I was too slow on the photo.

Bellies full, time to move on.

A special wine with a bit of grappa infused.

Some Rose is a must on a hot day.

The proprietor welcoming us properly.

This plate went quick.

Hey, that pig stole my watch.
The last one is an hommage to that famous Parisian balcony .
