Another enchanting evening at the Villa Deciani--this time held in the evocative ballroom. A wonderful atmosphere created thanks to the magical touch of Glauco Venier, an accomplished international jazz pianist who has collaborated with some of the most outstanding contemporary musicians.
Appreciative talk of the evenings at the Villa has obviously reached such far flung countries as Iceland, giving us the pleasure of the presence of the rare beauty Erla. David, another new guest and entrepreneur who lives in Thailand, was so impressed by the evening he has decided to change his itinerary in order to be present for next Tuesday's dinner. The effect these dinners have on people!!
The appetizer was nice and light; a crispy local "frico" and a delicate herb mousse served with an equally crisp white wine. This was followed by a fine risotto with herbs, which complemented the Tocai Friulano. We then went on with a "tagliata di manzo " (slivers of tender local beef) which was accompanied by a Cabernet Franc selected by the friendly wine producer Paolo Comelli, Vignaiuolo di Nimis. The supper ended up with a fresh fruit salad perfectly combined with a sweet Ramandolo.
We would like to give a warm thank you to our new guests, Gunther and Markus from Munich, who we hope will put in another appearance at future dinners and naturally to the regular guests who contribute to the great success of the ESDs.
