I would love that trip! I did not appreciate how gorgeous croatia is until recently.

Awesome trip! I will shoot you a PM about the eye opening experience we had in Montalcino. I wish I figured out the truth before it was the second to last day I was there. Like most, we wasted the first couple days hitting a lot of the big name wineries. That was enjoyable too, don't get me...

LOL that explains it! ;)

Why did you leave? ... if you don't mind me being nosy.

🤤 ****, that sounds phenomenal!

My wife is the main cook in our house (i do the grilling) but I LOVE making bolognese. Mine is pretty **** simple, but super **** good! I use market ground beef and pork. Heck, I might have to make a pot of it this weekend. I always make a ton so I can eat leftovers of it for days. lol

One day I may have to figure out how I can get caneinorlando to cook for my wife and I! ;-)

I'm oddly intrigued by Croatia. Plan on visiting there one day.

That's my wife's lane right there. I want to visit Sicily bad. Same with the Amalfi Coast. It'd be hard for me to justify going back to Italy again right now though, solely because I have been twice. There are a handful of other places in Europe I have not been to that I feel like I need to...

Will you be going to Montalcino? My only experience with Tuscany was there.

That sh-t cray. Aint it, Jay?

100%. Brunello that is too young is basically unpalatable. Thats why even tho a Brunello is what first gave me the wine bug many years ago (1997 Pian delle Vigne) and I still rank it as my #1 varietal in the world, I tend to drink more super tuscans than Brunellos. Not that some super tuscans...

LOL absolutely. Those cultures have so many similarities. Another is how both use guilt in droves as a glue to keep the family tight. Lol My mother in law is 2nd generation italian from Bologna and my FIL is ******. They met in Brooklyn. Lived on a street where one side were Italian and the...

Couldn't agree more, brother. Sounds like we are cut from the same stone.

Aye. I havent been to parma or sicily. Tuscany is my favorite region in Italy. Best food (and wines) Ive ever had, and its not even close. Also the most beautiful earth ive ever seen. The same thing I was saying above is true re visiting wineries. I was fortunate enough to be invited to a...

Interesting. Never heard of that. Makes sense. I live osso bucco too. Bone marrow with a tiny fork. Yum! Sounds terrible when you say it that way. Lol

Or possibly just ate at the wrong places. For example in Venice we had some meals that were absolutely phenomenal. But thats because we were told where to go. There are some tourist trap joints on the Grand Canal that have food about on par with your local Sbarro's. Yet they are packed all day...

Eating seafood at cheesecake when you live in Florida is just wrong.

You must have gotten suckered into eating at touristy spots. The authentic rustic cooking there is as good as anywhere else in the world. In fact, in my book it's #1. Always have to stray off beaten paths to truly experience other countries' cuisine.
