Tuscany Chianti Tasting @ Crystal Palate in East Beach, Norfolk

When we start counting our lucky stars by living in East Beach, we uncover gems like Crystal Palate.

The local wine boutique in the neighborhood recently brought Tuscany and their Chianti and Chianti Classico from Poggio Bonelli to our doorsteps with an oh-so-delicious Italian wine tasting.

Again, how lucky are we!
