The early bird catches the fishermen. 🎣☀️🦅 (BTW, a belated happy 2022 to all! 🎉)

I’m obsessed with the Italian expression, “Chi

I’m obsessed with the Italian expression, “Chi ha fatto trenta può fare trentuno.” It means, “Anyone who made/did 30 can make/do 31,” and I like to think of it as a way of saying “go big or go home.”

Well at Milan’s epic Bar Basso, I go big…here’s me with the “grande” version of its signature cocktail: the Sbagliato, a nickname for the Negroni Sbagliato, which means “mistaken Negroni” as it swaps the gin for sparkling wine.

BTW, speaking of “going big,” I’d like to share that I’ll be sending out my first monthly newsletter in the coming days. If you’d like to subscribe, just head to the link in my bio….thanks!🍹❤️💃🏻

And thanks to @arleneantoinettegibbs for the pic! 🙏

Sharing some pics from my visit to Maison Anselmet

Sharing some pics from my visit to Maison Anselmet in Valle D’Aosta. I loved exploring the vines with Giorgio Anselmet (pic 4). 🍇🍷

The vines in the first, second and third slides are from the winery’s Le Prisonnier vineyard, which stands at an altitude of 750-800 meters (2,560-3,624 feet). 🏔

Lunch included local cheese and salume, fondue, and raclette paired with Maison Anselmet wines (slides 5, 6, 7, and 8), and then we headed to @debossessrl to see Jambon de Bosses DOP ham followed by @cooperativa_fontina where the cheese ages for 80-90 days in the grotto. (Slides 9 and 10) 🫕

More pics in my story and highlights. 💪

What do three Romagnoli wine producers discuss in

What do three Romagnoli wine producers discuss in the restroom at Vinitaly? Making wine as the Georgians do. And so ANsomigaFORA was born. The play on the Italian word “anfora” also means “I am not a fool” in the local dialect. I wrote about this project and cultural exchange happening in Emilia-Romagna for @sevenfiftydaily —- click on the link in my bio to check it out. 🍷🍇🏺

No, this is not me approaching the climax of a sou

No, this is not me approaching the climax of a soupgasm—I’m drinking wine Piacenza-style. In this “città emiliano-romagnola” and its surroundings, locals sip wine from a handle-free scodella, a centuries-old tradition still encouraged at old-school spots like the excellent @osteriadunavolta (where my friend @ginapagnella snapped this). More Piacenza pics in my story and highlights—and, BTW, if you’re in Piacenza, you need to go eat there. I can’t wait to go back! 🍷❤️💃🏻

Como city from the Diga Foranea Piero Caldirola wa

Como city from the Diga Foranea Piero Caldirola walkway over the lake — just one of many enchanting views along my favorite run of all time. The cupola on the left belongs to the city’s Duomo — yes, Como has a Duomo too (and when the bells chime, it feels like a fairy tale!). Also, I know the vibes are quasi sunset-esque, but, believe it or not, it’s morning. ⛪️🚤🧡

Me, myself, and the man, the myth, the legend hims

Me, myself, and the man, the myth, the legend himself: Max Coppo, founder of the @grandwinetour . In October, I spent 24 Nebbiolo-fueled hours with him in Roero, Le Langhe, and Monferrato, and, of course, I wrote about it for @lacucinaitalianausa — link in bio. 🍷🍇💃🏻

When you get cancelled on for lunch at @pastamadre_milano , you don’t cancel on Pasta Madre. 💃🏻

Pappardelle with braised scallions, pecorino, and Taggiasca olive cream — so ridiculously sensational that I wish I could eat it every day! 🍝🫒😋

Bao, Bentoteca-style. 🐷 Seriously, though, how cute is this little guy? I almost felt bad biting into him, but the buoyant pork, shrimp, and mushroom filling obliterated my guilt. 😉

Anyhoo, I’m so pleased I finally made it @bentotecamilano . Dinner was (yes, I’m gonna use this word) dope, and I can’t wait to go back. 🍱

More pics in my story but first, a shout-out to the wine (swipe left): Forse Sono Fiori from Cretapaglio, a small biodynamic winery in Calabria. This natural wine is made from the indigenous Guardavalle grape and it’s floral (as suggested by the name and dainty label), but also fruity with a touch of mineral, and it’s just simply dreamy. I can’t wait to get my hands on a few bottles as well as try other wines by this excellent producer. 🌸🌼🌺
