我與意大利酒的邂逅 ~ Fall in Love with Italian Wines

 

很相信緣份，與這意大利拍擋的奇妙相遇，便開啟了我人生的新一頁。

三年前對 Italian wine 是一無所知，什麼  Barolo、Barberesco、Barbera、 Nebbiolo grape？Cortese、Brachetto、Moscato？ What are these？？？

多得他啟蒙了我，教導我，還寄來很多不同的意大利酒給我品試，還有參考資料，耐性地有問必答，令我眼界放寬了，選擇多了。確實對我在享受美酒的人生旅途中增值不少。

他家族不是做釀酒生意，但也是飲酒世家，而且自己也擁有一個小小的葡萄園及密室酒窖，釀製及保存一些非賣佳釀，只供自己享用。

很幸運自己認識了他，認識了意大利葡萄酒，認識了這令人心曠神怡及令人迷惑的瓊汁玉露！真幸福！
