‘Best for the wine makers’In my mind Italy is awash with vineyards in stunning locations. You’ve got your rows on the hilltops and your neat fields in valleys amongst the russets and orange colours Italy is famous for. They also take their wine seriously and have done for generations so you can listen to people speak with passion about what they create. There are lots of farmer, growers for whom the wine itself is better reward than international renown and they drink it (an will share it with you) accordingly (and they know a thing or two about food as well.). Piedmont has to be one of the best looking of an excellent bunch, Tuscany is a bit too perfect, but Piedmont is the real thing, oceans on undulating vines, heavy with dusty black grapes and naked earth between.

Review by member ‘Italy: A culinary tour of Piedmont’By Andrew Purvis for The Telegraph. First published Friday, 19th September 2008.
"Brown the heads, livers, hearts and gizzards of the 10 thrushes with the juniper berries. Add a small glass of Marsala and pour over the cooked birds. Heat through and add to the risotto, arranged in a 'nest’ on a round serving dish.”
It may sound medieval and disturbingly reminiscent of Sing a Song of Sixpence but this recipe is quite modern (1968) and one of the more visceral contributions to Il Grande Libro della Cucina Albese – the collected culinary wisdom of the people of Alba, a town in the Piedmont region, published in 1996...
