My Italian Grandfather made wine every year. Before he passed away he gave his last gallon to my husband. I love the Amalfi Coast, thank you Nicki and Carlo for sharing a slice of your beautiful life. Loved the puppy and sweet Holly too!
Nicki, I love how much you love dogs. Holly is getting older, and if you plan on having another dog after her, you should consider getting a puppy for her to train while she is still young and active. She will teach the puppy to act like her, so you will keep a piece of her after she is gone. I don't want to be morbid thinking about the end of Holly, and I hope it's a long time away still. Just my thoughts because you obviously are a dog person! Carlo, it's lovely seeing your family's traditions. Please let us know how the wine turns out at Christmastime!
I adore the people of Positano. I truly enjoyed hearing Zio talk and show us how he makes his wine. Nicki, you’re truly living a dream… playing with puppies and watching Zio make wine just in time for the new year. Truly a lovely vlog. Also the sound was good, wasn’t bad at all❤️
Well that was fun, we really got around in this episode: Ravello, Meta (I think?), Conca dei Marini & of course Positano/Montepertuso. And how cool is it that everybody in Carlo's extended family seems to specialize in making something different (wine, tomato sauce etc). It's like having a private family grocery store at your disposal!
Nicki, I enjoyed the beautiful sceneries of Positano and Ravello. Carlo's family are multi-talented people. It is so awesome they still keep their tradition going. Great video!
Nicki, loved the music which went beautifully with the fabulous scenery of Ravello! Carlo, I found it fascinating to learn about & watch Uncle Zio press & ferment his homemade organic Wine. Mahalo nui loa to u both! I enjoyed today's journey very much! Aloha nui to you all!
I always start out determined not to cry at the beauty of the scenery; usually fail, I lasted 2 mins 19 secs this time lol. It was good to see the old proper way of making the wine, I loved that. There are so many interesting wee bits to see and watch as you are filming the main thing, too. Thanks both for another lovely film x
How wonderful seeing Ravello and Villa Cimbrone...the Infinity terrace is spectacular...the weather is gorgeous! Carlo's Zio Giovanni what a character. Thank you as always for sharing your lives with us!! You've become a must watch on Sundays...I always look forward to your videos very much...they just have such a feel good factor which in turn makes me feel good ❤🐶
So fascinating to see zio Giovanni making wine the old way, I think it will have an amazing taste. At this time of year when there are no longer too many tourists in Positano, it's nice to fully enjoy the authentic atmosphere of the town, thanks Nicki for showing us in all seasons, all the aspects of this wonderful little corner on hearth❤❤❤
I hope you will do more videos showing the farming wisdom of the people living in Positano.I feel so good when you visit people and show us how they live .I am grateful to not just Carlo and Nicki but also to their family and friends for sharing slices their life with us .
I loved your video today. Carlo’s Uncle Zio is such an entertaining & interesting guy! The Italian traditions…he knows so well and I love learning them by watching him with Carlo. The wine making was very educational and interesting! I also loved your trip to see Lucy! I would love to find out how to get some of her music here in the states. Pandora nor RUclips really have much on her. I just love it when you use her music in your videos! I will be watching this episode again…so Italian and so beautiful!! Thank you Nicki & Carlo!!❤️
I absolutely love see my notification come up that there is a video from you coming in. You always go such interesting places. Thank you again for the work that you do to make these for us. And thank you Carlos for taking us with you to press the grapes. I didn't know it only took that long to make wine I thought it took longer. So, see! I learn something everyday! Hope your ear is okay. I can't wait for the Christmas video. I love them! I love seeing how happy Holly is when she gets to see her Grandpa and he her. Be well, stay safe, love from Texas.
“Hello Everywhere” 🥰 vivo in Texas, USA, ma il mio cuore vive a Positano, Italia adoro tutti i tuoi video grazie per tutto lo splendido scenario e il tempo trascorso in famiglia.
Loved this, My Grandfather was from Montefalcone Valfatore and had grape vines in our yard for over 70yrs. I learned to make this type of wine and slow fermented it in the fridge. It had a sparkle to it!. Lots of good memories....Thank you all
Oh Nicki your videos are always wonderful and you can’t beat that scenery-totally awesome and a great Sunday break for me and others! Have a beautiful week!! 🤗❤️
Another enjoyable episode ! Love Carlo's Zio making his wine such a hard working man steeped in tradition The town with Villa was so deserted !!! Give him a big hug for us !!
Beautiful place, Positano. And such friendly, interesting people. I loved watching that Grandpa making wind and talking about it. Thank you for sharing.
......I'm still catching up! LOVED this, Zio is marvellous. Visited Ravello about 4 times, then stayed there! So fantastic to see where I have walked.....thank you so much Nicky xxxxx
Good afternoon, it's nice to see everything slowed down in the Positano diaries. You could take a breath and just enjoy the time that you have doing what you enjoy doing. Touring with your British buddies, visiting Carlo's uncle, playing with his puppy, organizing your makeup artistry & planning for your Christmas in Britain with Holly & in your new vehicle. Certainly a longer trip but a lot less stress with no airport scene. I wonder how many jars and varieties of jam your dad's made recently. I'm just taking a break and waiting for my whole wheat bread recipe to rise. I enjoyed the vlog.I'm thrilled that Antonio has been found and is safe! A Christmas to celebrate... We had our first dusting of snow two mornings ago. So far it's been a very good fall. Very limited cold. Christmas will be here in short time. & Then truly a new chapter begins...
oh my gosh! I can't believe the dog ate your earring! you and carlos will be so grateful to have this fabulous video of his uncle making wine. All these old ways are being lost and now you have a diary of him doing it :- ) So impressive. I'm amazed how much we missed staying in Ravello when I see where you go to! I don't recognize any of them. I needed a Nicki tour guide when we were there years ago. Now to come back. Beautiful places you knew about.
So much love goes into Zio wine making...he's so proud of it🤗 🍷I love it...beautiful weather to see and lets not forget little Holly...poor thing getting her shot...but now she can see your Dad for Christmas...🎅🤶🎄
Hi @Jersey Girl, I used to live in Jersey but moved to Naples Florida back in 91’, eat move I ever made but I sure do miss Jersey. I adopted a dog and named her Jersey Girl. She’s no longer with us, she was the best. Just thought I’d share that with you. Please say hello to Jersey for me. Hahaha. ❤️❤️
No apology needed. You are showing daily life as it is. Love it. Can't wait to visit Italy again. So different to Vietnam where we live. (Aussies in Vietnam).
What I love about your videos Nicki is that you are real people, not the fat pocketed rich playing at Italy with unlimited funds for a second home. Real life, real people doing what real people do with the simple luck of living in one of the beautiful places on earth (even w/those damn 500 steps) ;-) Family, food, friends and time to enjoy the fruits of our labors... which is basically what all of us humans need to live a positive, bountiful life.
Another wonderful relaxing Sunday escape. When he was talking about the preservatives others add to their wines, this is exactly why I love French and Italian wines when I visit. I am highly allergic to Sulfa and found out a few years ago that it is the sulfates that are added to most wines that give me terrible headaches if I drink more than one glass. I never have this problem with French and Italian wines because they are not added to most of the wines either by tradition or government regulation.
I swear I'd never get anywhere, I'd just settle at the first overlook all day. Is that how artists start? Another (beautifully illustrated) diary of your picturesque life, thank you indeed. I hope Carlo reveals many more insights too after he retires.
Thank you again I am happy to hear Antonio is found safe today the video was as always wonderful the wine making reminds of my neighbor when I was young he had his grapes delivered same time every year he would make it down in his cellar he loved his wine he would sit under his grape vines and sing and be happy he was a cute little Italian man he had a large garden like you guys have I had every bit of Italy in my back yard stay well
Thanks Holly for letting us watch your busy day with the vet, Nicki and Carlos. Positano is so beautiful. Carlos family is so wonderful to live there. He is blessed with his family and the land.
You and Carlo love showing off your part of the Amalfi Coast to first time visiting friends. Come Jan 1, the Drone King will be with you on your tours. As for the home brew wine making, that was a blast! Btw, the audio was fine. I know my dog ate my homework but my dog ate my earring??? Just a little history about what, in the UK and the Us was Armistice Day, now in England Remembrance Day/Poppy Day/ In Flanders Fields the poppies grow..." and in the US Veterans Day. All originally celebrate the signing of the WWI Armistice on November 11th at 11 am. This is also the Feast Day of St. Martin of Tours, he was not French. He was the son of a Roman Tribune and born in A.D. 316 at the foot of the hill atop which is the famous Archabbey of Pannonhalma in the state of Pannonia Hungary. So he was a Roman-Hungarian. I have stayed for several days at this monastary. He is best known for the legend, which states that while he was in France, in the army, on a cold winter's night on horse riding back to Amiens, he met a begger dressed in rags shivering. He cut his cloak in half and gave to him. In a vision that night, he sees Jesus saying to the angels, "Martin, who is still but a catechumen, clothed me with his robe." He became a conscientious objector, left the army, became a monk and eventually a Bishop. Later those priest who cared for the remainder of the cloak were called "cappellanu," from which we get the military rank and word chapllain, and the small churches dedicated to St Martin were called, "capella," meaning little cloak, from which get the word chapel. How approriate it is the St. Martin is the patron Saint of the Cavalry and all soldiers. Many years ago, in the Catholic Church, St. Martins Lent a period of 40 days of penance, starting on 11th November, leading up to Christmas, now shortened and renamed Advent. My guess is, that the grape juice had to become wine by St. Martin's Feast Day, as there would no wine drunk till Christmas Day. Niki and Carlo you perhaps didn't realize how such an ordinary and delightful video could include all sorts of other stuff. Drink no wine before it's time!
Nicki it was lovely! There is nothing like family & you included the Zio & Zia, which was perfect. My husband's family was Americanized on Ellis Island, so Vincenzo Giovanni became "Vincent John". So we have Zio John & Zio Vinnie.. So glad Holly got the necessary visit behind her & you guys can go "home for the holidays". Still laughing over the mischievous puppy! Cent' Anni is our toast with that yummy vino!
Interesting to know that Italians too follow certain traditions of observing lunar cycles & natural phenomenon in daily life. Here in Southeast Asia, many ppl still consult the almanac as to suitable dates to do certain things. My grandma used to carry one around with her.
Thanks for this wonderful video about wine making and the great views along the way...never get tired of seeing them! My nonno used to make wine in our backyard in Canada! Great memories! It was uplifting to watch on a gloomy rainy day here in Prince Edward Island Canada!
I guess some people think making wine from your own grapes is easy, but it's obviously hard work. Italy is looking as beautiful as ever - such a contrast to our own chilly grey skies (almost every day).
Amazing- I have watched you for a long time. You never run out of beautiful places to film! I am in awe of all the netting along the road in Positano and along the coast, protecting crops in trees. No land is wasted. My grandfather had a wine press similar to the one shown. As a kid, it was in our basement for years, sat unused til dad took it apart!
Such Stunning views of the Ocean... I would NEVER be weary of watching the view! Thanks so much for sharing the wine making process... so beautiful to see the grapes being turned into a lovely juice and later wine. Holly is as adorable as EVER!!
Lovely uncle Zio.So much life and experience.Love him. And Holly, darling Holly if I could hug you just right now. But I do from far away.So lucky to find you all on youtube.Please take care.🐕❤❤❤
Thank you. What a fun trip in the day and life of Nicki, Carlo and of course Holly. Oh my gosh, we had a wine press just like that in our cellar back in Connecticut. Great fun with Zio Giovanni. Take care and be safe. Ciao 👩🌾
Priceless to meet Zio and his wine making process. So much effort and hard work, I love how he said “How the ancients used to do it” . Yes. 11/11 , Saint Martins Day is a very auspicious day, however he was realistic in acknowledging that it would not be ready on 11/11 👏😘 . Thank you Nicki and Carlo for this very special sharing of Zio. They don’t make Zio,s anymore. He is a rare find. They are a dying breed.
HELLO FROM TEXAS - ALWAYS ENJOYABLE TO SHARE YOUR TRAVELS. NICE THAT ONE OF YOUR CLIENTS PRESENTED YOU WITH A GIFT, THAT'S A DECENT WAY OF DOING THINGS. LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR TRIP BACK HOME WITH HOLLY, HOPE THE SUN WILL BE SHINNING. WINE MAKING IS ALWAYS SUCH A TIME CONSUMING PROCESS, EVEN WITH MODERN EQUIPMENT. BUT THE HOMEMADE WINES TASTE FULLER, AND THE HEALTH BENEFITS OUTWAY THE COMMERICIAL STUFF. THANK YOU. LOVE TO YOU AND CARLO, TAKE CARE, BE SAFE.
Nicki thank you , I loved all of it but especially Zio making wine. It brought back memories of my childhood watching my grandfather making wine in the back garden of his home in Australia 🥰
Such a special place. My cousin Ronya McGrady got married here on August 8, 2008. It was a spectacular wedding near the top of the mountain overlooking the sea with fireworks too. I was there and I have wondered now that I’ve found your channel if you did her makeup that day? You probably don’t keep records back that far but it’s a fun thought. Thanks for bringing back so many happy me,oriel of this magical place!
Interesting to hear about making wine around the waning Moon. I have heard recommendations about when to have surgeries/medical procedures and the Moon too. So enjoy seeing bits of the cats here and there, love Holly, but enjoy seeing the whole animal family.
Nicki, I appreciate that you remember to stop and show us the view along the way. Carlo, I like the sound of the press too. Beautiful video, I enjoyed every minute. Thank you!
Enjoying another one of your videos during my Sunday brunch. I liked very much Carlos uncle wine making i felt i was there in person. Can't wait for your friend album to come out. I learned about her from your videos and she does have a unique voice. Glad Hollie is getting ready for her visit to grandpas. Have a wonderful week...
Everywhere you go is Picturesque!! It’s like walking thru a movie set! I loved the Bride & Groom walking out of the church; so elegantly! The pressing of the grapes for wine was enchanting! The Nov 11th date for the grapes to turn to wine on Saints day! The view of the beach! Bella!❤️
Thanks for taking the time and making the effort to create this beautiful video! Your choices of background music were perfect for each gorgeous scene. ❤️ to you all from Texas.
I love watching your videos. Your landscape is beautiful. Those plates with the Yello lemons and navy are so pretty. I get transformed into your videos watching the wine making. So interesting to see how it is home-made. Thank you for sharing!
you are so lucky to live in beautifull town and have many natural and home made foods and drinks, friendship greetings from me and my husband, we live in Russia
It's so endearing to see that all over the world, a man will dive to the ground, or into an ocean - or, wherever need be, to find a pieces of jewelry (or accessory) that has somehow accidently fallen of of his beloved 🥰 It seems to be an uniquely international act of love... so cute to see it in action in Positano, as Carlo quickly jumped to find NIcki's earring 💖💕
Ciao Nicki and Carlo. I look forward to your weeks video to see Positano and other towns. But most especially to hear Italian being spoken. As always a beautiful video.
Nikki, thank you again for sharing such a beautiful scenarios! I love to watch your videos on my TV, they really transport us to magical places. And Carlo, that video about the wine, was absolutely amazing!. And Holly, I love her! She is a trooper, walking everywhere with you, so many stairs, and she seems to enjoy it so much! such a precious happy little girl 😊
Wow! Loved the wine making. You are always so busy and have tons of things to do. And beautiful views to view around you. Such a beautiful life you have! Thank you for sharing!
Love Zio Giovanni… my Nonu made wine in our garage. We also had a wine cellar which he stored his wine barrels. This wine was also just for family🍇Thank you for sharing 🤗🥰🍋
Love watching the wine making process. Do the younger family members help so they can continue the tradition? Glad the puppy didn’t swallow your earring Nicki! 🤗
See Nicki I told you about having another dog! HaHa What a superlative and sublime presentation, absolutely loved the Carlo/Zio portion. When I was stationed in Vicenza my parents came to visit and I bought a demijohn from the local vineyard and at the local hardware store corks, hand corker, empty bottles and a siphon hose.....by the time my father and I were finished siphoning wine we were quite inebriated. I still remember it and that was circa 1975.
So much here...so beautiful!! 💕 Everything in Ravello just gorgeous....the tile on Lucy's floor so beautiful!! Nice to see you and Carlo relax and enjoy. Would be cool to make your own wine with scenery as you guys have.. just an experience!!! Thanks for sharing your moments it is so lovely there!! 🌹🌈
Finally a break to watch. Nice to have visitors from England. And you and Carlo can go back to spend holidays with your Dad and family. Carlo's uncle is a hard working man. Keeping the traditions alive. Who will take over to do this?? He needs an apprentice. LBK is too cute. Wants to walk too. Holly happy to have puppy to play with. Sorry about earring. Say hello to Skye and Nicola. Stay safe.
You should do another video devoted just to Holly starting with telling those don’t know how Holly, a street dog, adopted you! Some nice Italian music and all the backdrops with Holly! A real star!
Zio is just a cute papa, and he feels so proud about his wine. The scenery is just beautiful and Nicki is always precise where to show us the best, an effort always will appreciated by us the viewers.
When my wife and I go for a walk, she says, "Lets go for walkies" as if I'm Holly. Thanks Nicki.
My Italian Grandfather made wine every year. Before he passed away he gave his last gallon to my husband. I love the Amalfi Coast, thank you Nicki and Carlo for sharing a slice of your beautiful life. Loved the puppy and sweet Holly too!
Nicki, I love how much you love dogs. Holly is getting older, and if you plan on having another dog after her, you should consider getting a puppy for her to train while she is still young and active. She will teach the puppy to act like her, so you will keep a piece of her after she is gone. I don't want to be morbid thinking about the end of Holly, and I hope it's a long time away still. Just my thoughts because you obviously are a dog person! Carlo, it's lovely seeing your family's traditions. Please let us know how the wine turns out at Christmastime!
I adore the people of Positano. I truly enjoyed hearing Zio talk and show us how he makes his wine. Nicki, you’re truly living a dream… playing with puppies and watching Zio make wine just in time for the new year. Truly a lovely vlog. Also the sound was good, wasn’t bad at all❤️
Well that was fun, we really got around in this episode: Ravello, Meta (I think?), Conca dei Marini & of course Positano/Montepertuso.

Always blown away by the scenery/setting. Lovely to see Gia making his wine. Too cute, Kitty and Holly gambolling down the stairs. 🥰
Ahh, Nicki, how lovely to see Positano in quieter times, and to see Uncle making his wine, what a lovely video, it's a bit of magic.😍
The colour of the scenery is stunning. The views NEVER get old. Thank you sooooo much for all the hard work it takes to share this with us. 😘
What a great video! Beautiful scenery, friends, views from work ,Vet visit with dear Hollie girl and spending time with Zio making wine! Love!
Thanks for bringing a smile to my face on this dark gloomy soggy Sunday!!!!
I love hearing Carlo speak Italian!
Kitty and Holly are such good friends lovely to see! Wow beautiful view with the pool and the sea below!
I hope you will do more videos showing the farming wisdom of the people living in Positano.I feel so good when you visit people and show us how they live .I am grateful to not just Carlo and Nicki but also to their family and friends for sharing slices their life with us .
I loved your video today. Carlo’s Uncle Zio is such an entertaining & interesting guy! The Italian traditions…he knows so well and I love learning them by watching him with Carlo.

Pandora nor RUclips really have much on her. I just love it when you use her music in your videos! I will be watching this episode again…so Italian and so beautiful!! Thank you Nicki & Carlo!!❤️
Thank you so much Sonya, my original music is available to purchase on Bandcamp or stream on Spotify ❤️
I absolutely love see my notification come up that there is a video from you coming in. You always go such interesting places. Thank you again for the work that you do to make these for us. And thank you Carlos for taking us with you to press the grapes. I didn't know it only took that long to make wine I thought it took longer. So, see! I learn something everyday! Hope your ear is okay. I can't wait for the Christmas video. I love them! I love seeing how happy Holly is when she gets to see her Grandpa and he her. Be well, stay safe, love from Texas.
“Hello Everywhere” 🥰
vivo in Texas, USA, ma il mio cuore vive a Positano, Italia
adoro tutti i tuoi video grazie per tutto lo splendido scenario e il tempo trascorso in famiglia.
Thanks for sharing the lovely video
It’s very nice to see Carol’s uncle takes pride on the traditional wine making with detailed explanations👍👍
Loved this, My Grandfather was from Montefalcone Valfatore and had grape vines in our yard for over 70yrs. I learned to make this type of wine and slow fermented it in the fridge. It had a sparkle to it!. Lots of good memories....Thank you all
A man after my own heart! We used to make all our own wines . Thank you Nicki xx
I love the wine maker, such dedication, such love. I hope there are people willing to follow in his footsteps. Love seeing real people from Positano.
Oh Nicki your videos are always wonderful and you can’t beat that scenery-totally awesome and a great Sunday break for me and others! Have a beautiful week!! 🤗❤️
Another enjoyable episode ! Love Carlo's Zio making his wine such a hard working man steeped in tradition The town with Villa was so deserted !!! Give him a big hug for us !!
Beautiful place, Positano. And such friendly, interesting people. I loved watching that Grandpa making wind and talking about it. Thank you for sharing.
......I'm still catching up! LOVED this, Zio is marvellous. Visited Ravello about 4 times, then stayed there! So fantastic to see where I have walked.....thank you so much Nicky xxxxx
Good afternoon, it's nice to see everything slowed down in the Positano diaries. You could take a breath and just enjoy the time that you have doing what you enjoy doing. Touring with your British buddies, visiting Carlo's uncle, playing with his puppy, organizing your makeup artistry & planning for your Christmas in Britain with Holly & in your new vehicle. Certainly a longer trip but a lot less stress with no airport scene. I wonder how many jars and varieties of jam your dad's made recently. I'm just taking a break and waiting for my whole wheat bread recipe to rise. I enjoyed the vlog.I'm thrilled that Antonio has been found and is safe! A Christmas to celebrate... We had our first dusting of snow two mornings ago. So far it's been a very good fall. Very limited cold. Christmas will be here in short time. & Then truly a new chapter begins...
Making wine while looking through the garden to the sea...it doesn’t get much better than that. Thanks for taking us along.
It's snowing in Western New York State. So lovely to see the sun.
Your videos are always so uplifting specially today as is very cloudy and dark in London. Thank you!! :)
oh my gosh! I can't believe the dog ate your earring! you and carlos will be so grateful to have this fabulous video of his uncle making wine. All these old ways are being lost and now you have a diary of him doing it :- ) So impressive. I'm amazed how much we missed staying in Ravello when I see where you go to! I don't recognize any of them. I needed a Nicki tour guide when we were there years ago. Now to come back. Beautiful places you knew about.
So much love goes into Zio wine making...he's so proud of it🤗 🍷I love it...beautiful weather to see and lets not forget little Holly...poor thing getting her shot...but now she can see your Dad for Christmas...🎅🤶🎄
Hi @Jersey Girl, I used to live in Jersey but moved to Naples Florida back in 91’, eat move I ever made but I sure do miss Jersey. I adopted a dog and named her Jersey Girl. She’s no longer with us, she was the best. Just thought I’d share that with you. Please say hello to Jersey for me. Hahaha. ❤️❤️
so happy to hear Antonio has been found. what great news!
No apology needed. You are showing daily life as it is. Love it. Can't wait to visit Italy again. So different to Vietnam where we live. (Aussies in Vietnam).
I never tire of scenery, just beautiful. What a good life you and Carlo have.
What I love about your videos Nicki is that you are real people, not the fat pocketed rich playing at Italy with unlimited funds for a second home. Real life, real people doing what real people do with the simple luck of living in one of the beautiful places on earth (even w/those damn 500 steps) ;-)
Family, food, friends and time to enjoy the fruits of our labors... which is basically what all of us humans need to live a positive, bountiful life.

How beautiful. Just exquisite. Thank you for taking us with you.💜💜

@@NickiPositano You're more than welcome.
Thank You both again!

Loved the knowledge Zio has and thank you for sharing. The older generation has so much to teach us about traditional ways. Love it

Amazing- I have watched you for a long time. You never run out of beautiful places to film! I am in awe of all the netting along the road in Positano and along the coast, protecting crops in trees. No land is wasted. My grandfather had a wine press similar to the one shown. As a kid, it was in our basement for years, sat unused til dad took it apart!
Such Stunning views of the Ocean... I would NEVER be weary of watching the view! Thanks so much for sharing the wine making process... so beautiful to see the grapes being turned into a lovely juice and later wine. Holly is as adorable as EVER!!
Lovely uncle Zio.So much life and experience.Love him. And Holly, darling Holly if I could hug you just right now. But I do from far away.So lucky to find you all on youtube.Please take care.🐕❤❤❤
Thank you. What a fun trip in the day and life of Nicki, Carlo and of course Holly. Oh my gosh, we had a wine press just like that in our cellar back in Connecticut. Great fun with Zio Giovanni. Take care and be safe. Ciao 👩🌾
Priceless to meet Zio and his wine making process. So much effort and hard work, I love how he said “How the ancients used to do it” . Yes. 11/11 , Saint Martins Day is a very auspicious day, however he was realistic in acknowledging that it would not be ready on 11/11 👏😘 . Thank you Nicki and Carlo for this very special sharing of Zio. They don’t make Zio,s anymore. He is a rare find. They are a dying breed.
Nice to see old traditions alive and well.
Beautiful as usual . Amazing how all those houses are built into the mountains .
HELLO FROM TEXAS - ALWAYS ENJOYABLE TO SHARE YOUR TRAVELS. NICE THAT ONE OF YOUR CLIENTS PRESENTED YOU WITH A GIFT, THAT'S A DECENT WAY OF DOING THINGS. LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR TRIP BACK HOME WITH HOLLY, HOPE THE SUN WILL BE SHINNING. WINE MAKING IS ALWAYS SUCH A TIME CONSUMING PROCESS, EVEN WITH MODERN EQUIPMENT. BUT THE HOMEMADE WINES TASTE FULLER, AND THE HEALTH BENEFITS OUTWAY THE COMMERICIAL STUFF. THANK YOU.
LOVE TO YOU AND CARLO, TAKE CARE, BE SAFE.
Always good to watch you guys. 😋
You guys make me getting to know Positano, and falling in love with this place🥰
Nicki thank you , I loved all of it but especially Zio making wine. It brought back memories of my childhood watching my grandfather making wine in the back garden of his home in Australia 🥰
Great! Really enjoyed Zio''s talk about wine making. He was fun to watch and listen to.
Such a special place. My cousin Ronya McGrady got married here on August 8, 2008. It was a spectacular wedding near the top of the mountain overlooking the sea with fireworks too. I was there and I have wondered now that I’ve found your channel if you did her makeup that day? You probably don’t keep records back that far but it’s a fun thought. Thanks for bringing back so many happy me,oriel of this magical place!
I love Holly so much, such a baby love. I’m so happy she gets to go with you to the U.K. For Christmas, so wonderful.
Interesting to hear about making wine around the waning Moon. I have heard recommendations about when to have surgeries/medical procedures and the Moon too. So enjoy seeing bits of the cats here and there, love Holly, but enjoy seeing the whole animal family.
Nicki, I appreciate that you remember to stop and show us the view along the way. Carlo, I like the sound of the press too. Beautiful video, I enjoyed every minute. Thank you!
Another beautiful video, from the scenery to the people and animals. i look forward to your posts like an addict. Thank you.
Enjoying another one of your videos during my Sunday brunch. I liked very much Carlos uncle wine making i felt i was there in person. Can't wait for your friend album to come out. I learned about her from your videos and she does have a unique voice. Glad Hollie is getting ready for her visit to grandpas. Have a wonderful week...
Everywhere you go is Picturesque!!
It’s like walking thru a movie set!
I loved the Bride & Groom walking out of the church; so elegantly!
The pressing of the grapes for wine was enchanting! The Nov 11th date for the grapes to turn to wine on Saints day!
The view of the beach! Bella!❤️
Oops forgot about your cat 🐈⬛.she will miss you guys when you go to England for Christmas. Just love cats also . Love all the animals.
Thanks for taking the time and making the effort to create this beautiful video! Your choices of background music were perfect for each gorgeous scene. ❤️ to you all from Texas.
In love with every moment, as always... ❤❤❤
I love watching your videos. Your landscape is beautiful. Those plates with the Yello lemons and navy are so pretty. I get transformed into your videos watching the wine making. So interesting to see how it is home-made. Thank you for sharing!
How wonderful to live in such a beautiful place.💜🌈
Your videos make me feel so relaxed.
you are so lucky to live in beautifull town and have many natural and home made foods and drinks, friendship greetings from me and my husband, we live in Russia
Beautiful video, loved all of it!! The amazing views are just breath taking!! Thank you to you and Carlo for sharing with all of us!!❤❤❤
It's so endearing to see that all over the world, a man will dive to the ground, or into an ocean - or, wherever need be, to find a pieces of jewelry (or accessory) that has somehow accidently fallen of of his beloved 🥰 It seems to be an uniquely international act of love... so cute to see it in action in Positano, as Carlo quickly jumped to find NIcki's earring 💖💕
Ciao Nicki and Carlo. I look forward to your weeks video to see Positano and other towns. But most especially to hear Italian being spoken. As always a beautiful video.
Nikki, thank you again for sharing such a beautiful scenarios! I love to watch your videos on my TV, they really transport us to magical places. And Carlo, that video about the wine, was absolutely amazing!. And Holly, I love her! She is a trooper, walking everywhere with you, so many stairs, and she seems to enjoy it so much! such a precious happy little girl 😊
Wow! Loved the wine making. You are always so busy and have tons of things to do. And beautiful views to view around you. Such a beautiful life you have! Thank you for sharing!
I don’t know how this channel hasn’t hit a million yet🤔🤔🤔
Love Zio Giovanni… my Nonu made wine in our garage. We also had a wine cellar which he stored his wine barrels. This wine was also just for family🍇Thank you for sharing 🤗🥰🍋
I treasure all your videos but especially the one showing life in Positano.
Love watching the wine making process. Do the younger family members help so they can continue the tradition? Glad the puppy didn’t swallow your earring Nicki! 🤗
🥰 Happy Sunday everyone, everywhere! As always, a great video Nicki & Carlo. 🎶Good luck to Lucy~ love her music. Lots of love 😘XOXO
❤️
See Nicki I told you about having another dog! HaHa What a superlative and sublime presentation, absolutely loved the Carlo/Zio portion. When I was stationed in Vicenza my parents came to visit and I bought a demijohn from the local vineyard and at the local hardware store corks, hand corker, empty bottles and a siphon hose.....by the time my father and I were finished siphoning wine we were quite inebriated. I still remember it and that was circa 1975.
So much here...so beautiful!! 💕 Everything in Ravello just gorgeous....the tile on Lucy's floor so beautiful!! Nice to see you and Carlo relax and enjoy. Would be cool to make your own wine with scenery as you guys have.. just an experience!!! Thanks for sharing your moments it is so lovely there!! 🌹🌈
Ciao Zio! 💕 Thank you for allowing us to learn from you ☺️
Finally a break to watch. Nice to have visitors from England. And you and Carlo can go back to spend holidays with your Dad and family. Carlo's uncle is a hard working man. Keeping the traditions alive. Who will take over to do this?? He needs an apprentice.
LBK is too cute. Wants to walk too. Holly happy to have puppy to play with. Sorry about earring.
Say hello to Skye and Nicola. Stay safe.
Beautiful video. Thank you so much🥰
All alone today, thank you for sharing your day and now I don't feel so alone. Grazie mil!!.
Ciao! Greetings from Firenze! Thank you for another fun video!!! Buona Domenica!
Stunningly beautiful scenery.
Hi Niki & Carlo I really enjoyed today’s video as always! I can’t wait to visit Positano one day hopefully! Stunning xx thanks for your hard work 💕
You should do another video devoted just to Holly starting with telling those don’t know how Holly, a street dog, adopted you! Some nice Italian music and all the backdrops with Holly! A real star!
Zio is just a cute papa, and he feels so proud about his wine.
The scenery is just beautiful and Nicki is always precise where to show us the best, an effort always will appreciated by us the viewers.
Thank you for great visit to Ravello, your videos with Carlo are amazing
