Friday Pic

Hello faithful friends and fans! It's been a loong while since you've heard a peep from this cultural nomad. Once again, work is the guilty culprit. My time and energy was completely consumed by organizing an Italian wine week in Los Angeles, featuring only the native varietals of Italia.

After months, countless meetings and endless hours of work, our event (which took place from May 16-20, 2011) was a huge success and I can honestly say that I've walked away with great experiences, a decent knowledge of native Italian varietals, and a little crush on Italy. More on that later.

In the meantime, here is a picture from one of our events held during the week- a Northern Italy Fruili and Piemonte dinner at Culina. While I would like to claim credit for such a cool shot, this one was taken by a professional photographer.
