• Winetasting Aperitivo \”Orvieto Natural\” and Fund raising for \”La Selvara\”

    We have mixed feelings about and mixed tasting experiences with \”natural\” wines. At least we are for an empirical and practical approach and not for an ideological. We will make you taste wines from \”La Selvara\” (Orvieto/San LorenzoNuovo) and \”Danielli\” (Allerona). In the meantime we got to know from \”La Selvara\”, that their winery was…

  • Brizi again

    I confirm my positive judgement on Ristorante Brizi. We had Uno scontrino di 64 Euro, di cui 16 were the beefsteak and 15 the wine. This time , both meat dishes were impeccable. Meat of decent quality, freshly grilled. A beefsteak like this would cost 6 € at the butcher. Then, all what is traditional,…

  • Eating out in Amelia

    We were visiting a friend, who is constructing a house near Amelia, and then obviously we went to wineries, “leonardo Bussoletti” and “ZanchI”. But Nixy will report about the winery part of the trip. We tried some Maelia Restaurants! There are eating places against which you can’t say anything, except that you would not return.…

  • italian rose,always versatile and often misunderstood

    Some people have a misunderstanding about rosato wine, thinking they are not serious wines, only blank drinks with pretty color. but as a wine professional I would say, that’s not true. There are blank pinky drinks for tourists at the seaside and there are the opposite.On October 27th we had a tasting of 6 Umbria…

  • Foligno on the fly

    Last Saturday we visited “Umbria in un Bicchiere”, the yearly Umbrian slowwine gathering.. After 6 hours of wine tasting we needed food. Nixy obviously came up with a place that offered una “Fiorentina”. It was 7 pm and our train was at 8:50.’ At 7:10 the Restaurant still did not accept orders, but we simply…

  • Osteria a Priori

    ..run by Eat Umbria SRL We visited on October 17, 2023. If you don’t want to go there for the food, go for the wine, I think they can challenge most orher Restaurants in Perugia for the quantity of Umbrian wines, they offer. L’officina might have more international labels, but for Umbrian wines Osteria a…
