S1E6 Taste Wine Like a Professional: Embrace the Spittoon
A happily exhausted Rose Thomas, still in Verona for the Vinitaly fair, records an episode of wine fair wisdom, including: Verona taxi tips, how to spit, how to pack for an Italian wine fair, how to find balance, and how to joyfully accept that there's no "winning" Italian wine knowledge--the diversity of Italy is too vast. And that's the fun: you might as well just jump into the river.
Phrases from today's episode:
"Una gatta frettolosa fa i gattini ciechi"
Far more colorful than the English equivalent, "haste makes waste"
sputacchiera=spittoon
"Grande, spingi": Milanese for "Go go, great one!"
A person who wants "la botte piena e la moglie ubriaca" wants to have their cake and eat it too (not possible). (Also, Rose Thomas mispronounces botte in the episode: it should be "botte" not "bota.")
equilibrio=balance
"Piove sul bagnato": it rains on the wet.
The two main piazzas in Verona are Piazza delle Erbe and Piazza Bra, the second has the taxi stand. :-)
Some grape and wine discoveries from Vinitaly's Micro Mega area:
Nascetta
Tazzalenghe
Cool producer from Pantelleria, Vinisola
