Italian Food

Well, only a couple of days into my relaxation gastronomic holiday and I am in heaven. I have eaten some of the finest foods and drunk some of the tastiest wines I have had in a long time. Nothing is heavy and difficult, everything is light and flavorsome. You can really taste the essence of each product. A tomato tastes like a tomato, Basil carries a full, fresh flavor and the fresh pasta has a taste of it's own, that adds so much to the overall experience of a meal. Weather is fantastic and the people are so open and friendly (finished Sunday night on Giuseppe's living room floor, don't ask me who Giuseppe is, but he makes a wicked Grappa). Will be driving around the area exploring some of the wineries at the beginning of this week, so look out for a report on Northern Italian Wines. Enjoy !
