Here’s what I’ve been up to this past week! I said I’d be spending time in Piemonte this autumn, and here we are! Only the first visit, and it’s already been packed with amazing people, flavors, and moments.
I spent a few days with old friends, fellow food professionals, scouting new wines to add to their lists and bring home. 🍷
One of the things I love most about my job? Connecting incredible produttori with passionate food experts worldwide.
Here are some snapshots from this unforgettable week:
1. Giardiniera, signori... Simple ingredients, but getting the process right is a different story. 🥕🫑
2. Opening old vintages is always fun and educational. It’s crazy how wine can make you travel back in time with memories and thoughts. 🍷
3. Marco, Cuoco, and Elena in sala form the quintessential epitome of Piedmontese hospitality, possibly more than that, but my bias is clear because I love them before their very food. ❤️
4. Cellar views in Barbaresco, Sottimano
5. Sausage, rabbit sausage... Ever heard before? 🐰
6. Agnello o capretto... The best you can have in Langhe… 🐑
7. Selfie with a wine legend—met him 18 years ago and never missed one year of tasting since… 💪🏼🙏🏼
This is just the beginning. Autumn in Piemonte never disappoints! 🍁❤️
