Had some grape vines and a dope garden, most importantly a wine cellar where they would bring my parents homemade wine FREQUENTLY. Unfortunately by the time I was old enough for my parents to be cool with me having a drink they had retired from making it, but they still continued to bring leftovers at least once a month when they had a big extended family gathering.
Every few years they go back to Italy for a month and bring back goodies for us too. Good people.
