    I was just in Barolo in La Morra. What a beautiful place in the spring. The wines are awesome and they served my new Italian favorite – veal ravioli. Any chance of tasting some Renato Ratti?

    Hey, I live in France, you can’t buy Italian wines here. Never mind, I drink chateau Meney 2005 – a delight, full of mint and black plum. Price – $30 to les americans. I give it 91+ points.

    Where was this Episode I dropped 50 bones on a Borolo at WL in March.. It was good but would have loved an Episode to guide me further. I bought the Roagna have you had it?
    QOTD: arancini it is a Sicilian food, rice ball filled with goodness…

  • Lois and Greg

    Easy, seafood fra diavolo. If I’m not wearing some, it wasn’t any good.
    Second choice, my eggplant, cheese, tomato sauce and red pepper bake.

    Polenta — I love polenta with seafood or small game . Excellent country fare (the Italian answer to gits). I’ve even had it with squirrel (and rabit in the winter) at mamma Bennvenuti’s house. The old man hunts them with a .22 rifle down by the river and she par-boils and fries them with garlic, onioand serves them over polenta. Wine at their house ain’t no big deal — Gallo from the jug. But the folks are great people and truly the salt of the earth.
