When all the world is a hopeless jumble
And the raindrops tumble all around
Heaven opens a magic lane

When all the clouds darken up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your windowpane
To a place behind the sun
Just a step beyond the rain…
-Yip Harburg, Somewhere Over The Rainbow

The world knows how the rest of the song goes, but the preamble still tugs at my heart. It's the song that most reminds me of my mother and her dreams of a different life. When I dream, I still hear her voice telling me, “You can do anything, Michael,” and look, GiGi, we did……

Dreams without goals are just dreams and will ultimately fuel disappointment; on the road to achieving your dreams, you must apply discipline and, more importantly, consistency. Because without commitment, you’ll never start, but without consistency, you’ll never finish. (DW)

For us, the dream expands to The Wine Club, Italy. We hope you'll join us on this journey!

A presto,

Michael and Anne

Our thoughts exactly…..

“Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a Negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyway. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride.”

– Anthony Bourdain

“Any arbitrary turning along the way and I would be elsewhere; I would be different. Where you are is who you are. The further inside you the place moves, the more your identity is intertwined with it. Never casual; the choice of place is the choice of something you crave.” -Frances Mayes
