Micah & Anna came up to Piemonte for a night to visit Micah's parents and sister who were in town for the
Alba Music Festival. Saturday afternoon we picked up Micah & Anna from the Savigliano train station and went straight to La Morra for another day of
Barolo wine tastings! The weather was gorgeous and we had a little lunch outside before beginning the tasting.
We were happy to try 23 different mostly 2007 Barolos! It was very interesting talking to the producers and learning about the wine. We all chose our favorites and then spent a bunch of money at the cantina buying wine. Well, what's the point of knowing your favorite if you don't have a bottle of it at home?
After a stroll in the sunshine and a bit of gelato, we hopped in the car and headed to Alba. Micah & Anna joined Micah's family for dinner and Fabri & I met our friend Mike for an aperitivo. Who knows why that was necessary after 23 wines, but it was fun! Then Fabri and I had to run back home to have dinner and pick up our puppy, but it was fun to spend some time with our friends, even just a short time!

Looks like fun Jess and I agree with you, what IS the point of wine tasting if you can't bring a bottle home! Looking forward to seeing you. YAY!
23 tastings is a lot even if they are little! and I love how you followed it up with an aperitivo :-)
You gotta be hard core like that when you live in Italy! One more week!!
