Reunited...and it feels so good.
"It was really a very pleasant evening" said a shy Arigo Gobessi, probably still jet legged from his long flight from Vancouver to be reunited with his brother. He was surely surprised to find such a cosmopolitan ambience in the village that he had left over 50 years ago to emigrate to British Columbia, where he now lives with his wife Rosemarie and family. Similarly surprised was Ermes to be reunited with his childhood friend from Graz, Eva, who is presently living in Kenya!
It was the same nice, friendly atmosphere created by an international crowd, with German as a second language alongside Friulano.
All the better to appreciate the tasty home cooked dinner prepared by the Visconti Puglenik family, which was well matched with the wines of several good ESD friends: Coos and Zacomer, Vignaioli di Nimis, and Toniatti Giacometti, who is an important horse breeder, just to mention the locals. We also got to try an interesting Tuscan rosè from the cellars of Conti Spalletti which nicely set off the delicious maccheroni alla napoletana, a family recipe from Antonio Visconti.
ESD will continue with other interesting gatherings; next week the girls of Aviano will be bringing us a bit of Broadway.
Hope to see you all soon!
