Wineries…Italian Style

Inevitably, as the final step at most wineries, they will want you to try their grappa. Personally, I hate grappa — sa di terra, meaning it tastes like dirt, and that’s not a taste I will ever acquire. Still they insist, even when I tell them in no uncertain terms that I don’t like it, telling me that’s because I’ve never tried their grappa. I protest — no, no, listen to me, I really hate grappa. That’s to no avail and so I end up having to drink it, and because I have no filter, I tell them I don’t like it. I alleviate their heartbreak by purchasing a few bottles of wine, but then I hurry to the next winery so I can get that horrible taste out of my mouth.

If you plan to visit, you’re better off making a reservation — you can usually do so by email through their website. Many of them accept walk-ins, but if they know you’re coming, they’re prepared to make it a great experience. On your end, be prepared to spend some time when you go. A wine tasting in Italy can easily last more than an 2 hours.
