I got my bags packed on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good

in my passport photo.

Amateur Traveler episode 425. Today the amateur traveler talks about wine, a museum dedicated

to cheese and the Dolomites as we go to South Terol in Italy.

I know that I should be heading home,

but maybe not, maybe not today.

Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen. Before we get into our

interview today I did want to remind you that there are still spots available

for the amateur traveler trip, April 2015 to Morocco.

So check that out.

Just go to the amateur traveler site

and under the book travel tab,

there is a link there for that trip.

I'd like to welcome to the show Allison and Andrew Cornford Matheson from Cheese Web.

EU who've come to talk to us about Southern Terol, which is in Northern Italy.

Allison and Andrew, welcome to the show.

Hi, Chris, thank you.

We won't talk about how many times it took for me to say your last names correctly.

What are we talking about when we talk about the southern Terral?

Well, if you can picture the northeast corner of Italy way up in the mountains

that's a region called South Tyrol and it is often confused with Tyrol in

Austria but this is a totally different place.
