Modo di Bere: Drinks & Dialect

S1E12 The Raw Rush of Survival: Wine Tour Driving with Rose Thomas


Listen Later

On the road for Modo di Bere, Rose Thomas records the story of how she overcame her trepidation about driving in Italy and Spain and embraced the thrill of the wine tour driving that brings her such adventures as meeting mules at midnight on a mountaintop in the Sierra Nevadas. She shares the elements of winery tours, lessons learned when renting cars overseas, and how falling in love with wine is to fall in love with the landscape.


Towards the end, Rose Thomas shares the story behind the name "modo di bere," literally, way of drinking, a pun on the Italian word for a saying.

Here are the wineries Rose Thomas mentions visiting in Andalucía:

Purulio
Los Cautivos
Bodega Cauzón
García de Verdevique
Barranco Oscuro
Alqueria de Morayma
F. Schatz

Maurizio Anfosso and Roberta Repaci drive down the mountainside from their winery and up the next mountain to tend their ancient vines in the Dolceacqua area of Liguria in Italy: Ka*Manciné
