In the evenings in the centre of Verona there is an event called 'VinItaly for You'. Which roughly translates as wine for the plebs. Simon and I thought it sounded right up our street.
For 12€ we were given entrance to the Gran Guardia palazzo in Piazza Bra and a glass. We were then able to taste 2 wines of our choice, a prosecco cocktail and then some food. There was also a live Jazz band to watch.
I had a Merlot first..such a philistine...I have heard of merlot and liked the bottle - that was my system of choosing!! it was nice though - doubt it is under 2€ so out of my budget anyway!! I then had a prosecco, smiled and didn't have to give the man a token. What a hero.. it was really nice too, from Toscana.
The food was a bit reminiscent of an aeroplane but took the edge off the alcohol. Finally we had a prosecco cocktail - grim. It was prosecco with micro bilecular bits in it that tasted (?) of blackberry (?) It looked like fish eggs and tasted like jelly. Now 3 glasses in, it's not good to drink stuff that makes you want to gag. After that we pretty much left and had a lovely ice cream whilst walking home.
Next - skiing tomorrow if it is sunny, kitchen has arrived finally, so we are waiting only for fitting and home on Wednesday for a few days of Primark indulgence.
I could use some more followers and would like some more comments please!!
