Napoli chiama Tramonti, Naples calls Tramonti:
Tuesday, 3 November, from 1730 to 2300, the First Edition of Tintore Day will be held in Naples at Cantine Astroni. A day dedicated to learning about, appreciating, and promoting the Tintore vine, a rare variety that is practically unknown to the public. This event is geared towards the press as well as people in the ‘wine business’, but the public is welcome as well. In fact, this will be a great occasion for anyone who wants to ‘discover’ a new wine. When you think about it, many Campanian wines that we drink today had been forgotten and rediscovered. This is one of them that fall into this category. The event will open with a round table discussion with wine experts Sebastiano Fortunato and Gerardo Vernazzaro and winery owners Gaetano Bove, Luigi Reale and Alfonso Arpino from San Francesco, Reale and Monte di Grazia. Journalist Luciano Pignataro will lead the round table. Afterwards, there will be a wine tasting and buffet with products from the Campi Flegrei and Tramonti area. I’ll be there. If you are interested, send an email to the above address, or let me know and I will contact them for you.The event is presented by Luciano Pignataro (http://www.lucianopignataro.it/), AIS Napoli and AIS Costa d’Amalfi. Present as well will be GIOI Piccolo salumificio Artigianale and Caffen.

    Karen,
    We are so thrilled with your success of Andiamotrips. We only wish we could still be there to share in the experiences. Our wine stash is running low! Hopefully one day we will be able to return back to Italy and replensih it.
    All the best,

Welcome to My Home - Lunch at Antica Osteria Nonna Rosa with Chef Peppe Guida

I've lost count as to how many times I have seen Chef Peppe Guida since we met for the first time last April .  On every occasion, from dinners at Pastifcio dei Campi to visits to Marina Yacht Club , we always ended our conversations agreeing that I needed to visit him a casa sua ...his home, his restaurant, Antica Osteria Nonna Rosa in Vico Equense (Na). I chose a Saturday afternoon to visit the chef's home, which really was just that...a home.  A renovated house dating back to the 17th century.  Chef Guida took me on a little tour pointing out where the pizza oven used to be, for example, which now is a small corner intimate dining room/wine cellar.  My eyes, however, were drawn to the family room where among antique furniture and plants hanging from the ceiling was a comfortable couch. I sat down for a while to relax,  discuss the latest news from Napoli, and talk about Guida's menu over a glass of spumante and a soft warm slice of casatiello with walnuts.  M

La Scarpetta, Pepe in Grani, Caiazzo (Ce)

Scarpetta. ..the word alone makes one's taste buds jump for joy.  Scarpetta, little shoe, is an act of love at the end of a meal. A show of respect and admiration performedw ith a piece of great bread and the remnants of a fantastic sauce left on the plate at the end a a course. That is the spirit behind Franco Pepe' s latest pizza - La Scarpetta.   Pepe's soft pizza dough paired with an amazing ragu tomato sauce.  For the sauce, Pepe chose three tomato varieties and slow cooked them so that they fused together to make an incredible tomato sauce. This sauce is not cooked in the oven with the pizza dough, but added on top afterwards.  Then a couple of shavings of Grana Padano cheese (aged 12 and 24 months) Just one more taste of happiness courtesy of Pepe in Grani.. .
