Italiano e vino...Meraviglioso!
Several weeks ago I read in our Tahoe Daily Tribune an intriguing article:
A new Italian social club is forming and organizers are looking for members. Meeting locations will vary depending on participation. Everyone is invited to support the language, tutor others or enjoy a cappuccino and converse with other local Italian residents, travelers in students in the area.
The club is looking for a way to keep the language alive and serve as a gathering for people with similar interest and a passion for "mia bellissima Italia."
I have been missing la lingua, since leaving Italy, so I thought this would be a wonderful opportunity. Tonight, we gathered at Picchetti Winery for friendship, food and all things Italian. Karina, our leader and hostess with the mostest, spoke of the art of Michelangelo while we all shared travel stories and spoke in varying levels of competency.The club is looking for a way to keep the language alive and serve as a gathering for people with similar interest and a passion for "mia bellissima Italia."
What we all realized is that a love of Italian is a common denominator that makes us all want to get together often. Picchetti Winery (1896) was an ideal location with their rich history and picturesque setting, it was a perfect night.

il vino è la relativa anima."

wine is its soul."
