Heading to Tuscany

We are heading to Southern Tuscany in December returning in March. We will carry an armful of books, a list of fly fishing shops in Grosetto, introductions to wineries in the hill towns east of where we will be staying, the Italian Touring Club's places to eat and visit, maps, treks with a food/wine theme, and so forth. We will be doing a lot outdoors (Tom keeps talking about mushroom foraging) and because we will be taking care of three dogs (and a couple of cats) we expect to be doing some walking on the nearby beaches and trekking in the hills. Visit this site in a few weeks for more information on our stay in Italy and a list of great resources.
