Leaving Venice/ Mestre and heading back to Verona- the heater is apparently fixed.. Alice is took us to a winery where a friend of hers works. We had an education and then a tasting. Patrick heard about grappa for the first time and fell in love with it ! He also started looking for aquavite everywhere. New horizons!! Alice's friend Mara found a restaurant- wine shop for us to have lunch in Parona. Signorvino. Each of the dishes is paired with a wine on the menu. I chose a traminer which is red cabbage salad with olives, orange, olives and pumpkin seeds. It was delicious, fresh, and organic. Joey had a pasta carbonara , Lindsey had a ground beef with a sunny side up egg over toast - she said it tasted good but the toast was so thick and hard that she was afraid she'd break a tooth. And then tonight a dinner at Elena and Marco's. We had chicken liver pate, risotto with sausage, polenta with saline and mascarpone and/or Gorgonzola, and lentils for good luck in the new year. And lots of wine!! And all homemade! They are the most wonderful loving family I think I have ever met. Fun, friendly, happy, joyous!
