As you probably noticed I was not online during the holidays. For Christmas I was at home in Pula to spend some time with my family, friends and high school colleagues I have not seen for more than ten years. I even managed to visit two Istrian winemakers and soon you will read about them here on Manjada. No need to mention how good and how much have I eaten these days… Ufff! I’m on a diet now.
After Christmas I went to a small village near Torino in Piemonte were a friend of mine has a mountain hut. There was some snow that we cleverly used to cool the white wine.
White wine in white winter
For New Year’s Eve were we had a nice party but we made one mistake. For the party we bought too much wine and soon realized it is not an ideal party drink. I was completely destroyed by drinking first some red Piemontese wine (Dolcetto, Barolo, Barbera) and then a lot of champagne. If one wants to get drunk quickly and painlessly vodka with some juice is a much better choice.
That’s it folks. Once again, all the best in 2010, read Manjada and please post more comments than in 2009.
