Poggio Etrusco, Near Montepulciano

On the way to Umbria we visited with Outstanding in the Field friend Pamela Sheldon Johns. Cookbook author Pamela operates Poggio Etrusco a small farm where she produces olive oil and leads food and wine workshops. Pamela participated as a guest food artisan at our legendary 2008 Art Dinner event in Florence.

Pamela welcomed us into the main house with freshly baked olive cake and tea. Mmmm. We settled in to the comfortable accommodations taking the opportunity to catch up on correspondence, do laundry and plan the coming days adventures.
