Welcome, Friends and family our goal with this blog is to help you keep tabs on what we've been up to after moving to Italy in 2007, by sharing some of our experiences with you. We have many of our old favorite places yet we always seem to stumble into something really cool just when we think we've seen everything. Our goal is to share these new experiences, along with an occasional wine or travel tip.
Sincerely,
Robert and Leslie Alexander

The fruit trees are starting to bloom. The landscape is spotted with shades of pink and white blossoms.
curry
Above is the first curry club meeting with our English friends of 2012. We love the cuisine of Piedmont, but we need an occasional break of something ethic or different. This time it is Indian but no beer this time only local white wines.
