Turkey Point Lighthouse

On a Rare Friday off, August fifth, 2016, Christine and I went on a road trip to Turkey Point Lighthouse at the end of Elk Neck in Maryland. To access the lighthouse you have to drive to the end of state route 272 in Maryland which is about an hour drive (forty miles) away from Wilmington, Delaware.

Any wine made in the Chianti region that doesn’t meet the grape composition that makes up the definition of Chianti can be a super tuscan. In the contemporary marketplace super tuscan has two meanings: one, the revered producers that played a role in changing the rules surrounding Chianti in the eighties and nineties bringing the wine into the modern era; and, two, any wine produced in the IGT toscana. Sassicia is an example of a classic wine first produced in 1968 with a blen...
