Our private lunch at Planeta Winery

I think one of the best winery's in all of Sicily is Planeta.  Planeta has about 5 different wineries in Sicily specializing in different grape varities.   Luckily the oldest on (Ulmo) it's just outside of Sambuca.  We setup a private lunch there.  The people were fantasic.  One of the people spent a good 1  1/2 hrs only with us, giving us the tour and talking about things.  Of course her name was Maggio.  It was fantastic.  We even got to meat 2 of the owners who were very nice and spoke very good English.
