Its a stunning sunny winters afternoon here in Tamworth and I'm here with my beautiful Sandy chilling out on the back deck overlooking our garden. Talking and planning for our up and coming Italian cooking adventures, the smell of the BBQ wafting through the air so we thought we should open a special bottle of red that we were given when we were doing a cooking class in Rome back in October 2014.
Andrea from "Cooking Class in Rome" and I share a birthday, when we left his class last time he presented me with a Italian red to enjoy when we got back to Australia. So today was the day to enjoy it and sure gets us into the Italian vibe. It's 12 years old and is a deep rich plum-red in color and surprisingly a BIG wine for Italy, we loveeee big reds so will be keeping an eye out when we are back in Italy.
