Piemontegirl tuned 6 this year. And what a journey it has been. I don't know what the next year, or next 5 years will bring, but I will keep telling people about the wonderful world of wine.

We’re almost halfway through summer already. And I could be sad about it, but instead I am super excited. Do you know why? Because it’s mushroom season! And do you know what that means? Mushroom pasta, mushroom pizza, mushroom risotto, fried mushroom, mushroom consommee etc etc etc! You catch my drift. So, for the next, I don’t know how many weeks, I’ll be in the forest, hunting mushrooms.

Summer came and went in Norway already, but here’s to hoping it makes a comeback soon so we can start drinking some summer wine! Disclaimer: you’re allowed to drink a so called “summer wine” anytime. Don’t let the rain and cold discourage you. I’m sure you can find an occasion to open an Arneis regardless of the weather.

There’s not much that hasn’t already been said about Roberto Voerzio. But if I were to try and describe Roberto with one word, the word that comes to mind is “profound”. Yes, he’s a winemaker. Or, more aptly, a winegrower. But he’s so much more. He’s a farmer. A father. A grandfather. A wine lover. And it’s obvious he loves what he does. Hearing him talk about wine is like listening to a great piece of art. And I feel lucky to have had that opportunity.

It’s about time to start thinking about wines for Christmas! If I’m being honest, it’s a little late to start thinking about it, so hopefully you’re way ahead of me! The options are endless, but if you’ve been following me for a while, you know I tend to stick to certain areas. Since we don’t have a ton of time, I’m diving right in!

Even though Thanksgiving is mostly an American (and Canadian) holiday, turkey is enjoyed by many. Now, it’s not so easy to find a wine pairing for turkey because of all the different side dishes. But I will do my very best. Over the years we’ve tried a wide variety of wines with turkey, and almost always one wine gets out on top.

It's long overdue, but I have finally updated my "guide" of where to eat, drink and sleep!

I'd like to add a disclaimer: this is not a complete list. I know that there are many other wineries, hotels and restaurants in the area. So please don't be upset if your favorite isn't on here ☺️

Here are some of my recommendations on where to drink, eat and sleep. Contact me for more recommendations and help planning your visit to Piemonte! What is the best time to visit Piemonte? Corte GondinaVia Roma 100, 12064 La MorraWebsite | Email: [email protected]: +39 0173 509781 | Fax: +39 0...

Marengo is one of the few (that I know of) who makes both a Langhe Nebbiolo and a Nebbiolo d’Alba 🍷

Do you know what the difference is?

It’s not just geography. A Nebbiolo d’Alba has to spend at least 12 months in oak barrels, whereas the Langhe Nebbiolo does not.

If you’ve been following me for a while you know that one of my absolute favorite Nebbiolos is the Valmaggiore from Marengo. So if I had to choose between the two, you know which one I’d go for.

Has anyone else tried both? Thoughts?
