Very rare in piemonte an ethnic restaurant i wouldn't travel from the states
to eat here but when you live here a nice change of pace
We are often asked what the drinking age is in Italy. Don't know but this
sign was on the door of the restaurant above. Not just forbidden but
strictly forbidden.
Truffle Fair
Nov/13/08 foodie
The last day of the world famous truffle fair in alba this years "best"
of show sold for 24,000 wow now that would be a big bag of stink!!!
Just out side the fair venders were selling both white and black truffles
from 30 to 80 Euros
No they are not all the same. The signs give details on location, altitude,
flat or hilly ,aging
Amazing the differences from wheel to wheel
Fall tours/Harvest
Oct/10/08 Tours
Harvesting nebbiolo behind our home. Producers in both Barolo and Barbaresco
are VERY exited about nebbiolo this year, looks very promising !!!
This is why so many people travel to Alba in the fall.
The famous white truffle of the langhe
It's always nice to have an American visitor show Italian winemakers how to
properly sciabola a bottle of champagne.
Daniele Panino!!!
Trying salsiccia di bra (raw sausge) for the first time yum !!
