Andrea’s blog, a discovery journey through Italian wines, wine makers and much more...
I had my first sip of wine when I was 2, I can still recall that moment like it was yesterday. Sitting on my grandpa knees, sipping the wine he had produced from his glass. For him was one of the best moment of his life, share with his eldest grandson, the result of one year of hard work in the vineyard, for me was the moment where my passion for good Italian wine was born.
My job, often my friends laugh at me when I call it this way, is about tasting plenty of wines, long, hard tasting session and discover new gems and wine makers to work with and unfortunately, a downside of the job, is that you can’t drink a wine without tasting it and give your professional opinion or have your friends asking you to pick the wine when eating out....
In my blog I will write about my adventures whilst discovering the finest itailian wine and bring you the latest news from the world of wine and more specifically, Italian wine.
I will also like to hear what you have to say so please share your views & comments.

You get what you pay for..
In the last few weeks and will continue for a few more, every night on TV there is a program about the food we eat. A few nights were about chickens, then ready meals and more will come. It seems that suddenly a food revolution has started. I grown up in a culture where we were taught that “you get what you pay for” from when we were kids and this applies to food like anything else and having a business background, I also know that all businesses needs to make profits to survive. Starting from these two assumptions, it is easy to get to the conclusion that whenever we think we saved some money, we have actually wasted the money we spent. This is truer for the food because everything we eat and drink can harm our health, and even when it does not, they are not a pleasure anymore.

Taste the difference
We keep watching on TV programs about what is behind the food available from supermarkets, but very often, the attention is not on the taste but on other elements that could be the way the lamb or chicken are treated or where it comes from.
