The Land of Prosecco - Sonia's home town of Vittorio Veneto

Coming back from our trip to Sonia's home town, Vittorio Veneto, in Northern Italy, I can't help but miss this beautiful land, a land where as far as your eye can see, prosecco grapes grow. Prosecco is the life blood of the Veneto Region. It is responsible for sustaining the local economy and for playing a major role in the conservation of the land. Prosecco is a less processed version of champaign, less expensive and tastes great... So when you are thinking of a great wine, try a nice cold bottle of Prosecco, which is becoming ever so popular in the states. It's the natural way to have your bubbly white!

Thank you to all of our Italian family and friends for making this trip so special!

Ciao!

Baked Trout & Brandy Wine

A simple, delicious, off the cuff recipe from Chef Sonia, that will knock your socks off! When you're shopping and you see a fresh whole trout, grab it. All you need is an oven safe frying pan, butter, fresh sage leaves, flour, salt & pepper, brandy & white wine. Pair the trout with some grilled vegetables and you're in business! Enjoy!
