First off, I wanted to wish a Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. It's tough not being able to be with either of our mothers today, but hopefully they know how much we miss them.
Next, last night Lucia and I made a friend last night. We had previously learned about a wine bar from a ristorante that we had visited in Florence and it came very highly recommended, so we had to try it out. We had randomly walked by it the other day when we were at the Boboli Gardens, and so at that time we made a reservation for a wine tasting/dinner. Little did we know what we had in store.
The owner of the enoteca sat us down and fed us unbelievable Tuscan food, and kept pouring us tastes of many good Italian wines. It was incredibly fun to talk with him about wine, and we asked him plenty of questions to pick his brain. We asked him about any courses or classes that we could take on wine while we are in Italy, but his recommendation was that we just taste our way through Italy and form our own palate and opinions. Sounds like a plan to me!
As the night went on, and I kept raving about the food, I finally asked him if I could come in some time and learn how to make Italian dishes like the ones they served, and he was more than happy to oblige! So, we'll be going back there from time to time, and learning about food and wine. Very exciting!
Arrivederci!
