Sara, Me, Jennie

Before departing for Venice our proffesors hosted a villa wine tasting in honor of Virginia's birthday. The feast included a full wine tasting tutorial on proper tasting,smelling,swirling, and other techniques for identifying the quality and character of different wines. We began with two different red wines and concluded with spumante. The spread of delicious foods included crudo, buffalo mozzarella, 7 kinds of bread, an herbal cream cheese, and Parmaseano Regiano cheese. The Parmaseano is the highest quality available and is of such high quality that it's value is more constant then gold and is often kept in bank vaults and used as a barter item for large loans! The night was alot of fun- a good excuse to dress up, eat good food and learn something really valuable.
