Visit Sicily via Russia

I enjoy coming across real examples that the World is Flat… like this great website, SicilyWineValley.com, which promotes the Trapani wine region on Sicily's western coast. The valley's 2,460 square kilometres contain approximately 166,000 acres of vineyards and over one hundred wineries. The website does a wonderful job of guiding you through the wineries within the regions of Marsala, Erice, Alcamo, Pantelleria, and Salaparuta.

The fact that one of the curators of your virtual tour is located in Moscow is quite remarkable. Alberto Maiorana, Co-Founder and Managing Director of SicilyWineValley.com, recently moved to Russia.

That might explain the impressive photographs; it gives Alberto a piece of "home" whenever he needs it.
