We hope you're well on this Memorial Day, an occasion to reflect on the ultimate measures given by members of our armed forces, men and women of every race, religion, and sexual identity. We wonder what they'd think about what we've done with the hard-earned liberty they defended, how we've treated the gift they so selflessly delivered to us. We're ruled now by corrupt forces with no respect for thess sacrifices or democratic traditions, men without decency who emulate and openly aspire to the cruelty, malice, and hatred that defined our greatest historical enemies. Are we better than this? We'll have to prove it. They're an evil to be cut out of our society, removed like cancer and disposed of like garbage. And today provides us with noble examples of what it takes to accomplish such a task.

We're open tonight with wine, drinks, genuine hospitality and the best Abruzzese cucina west of the Apennines. The weather has marginally improved, and it's always time to gather together, share what's good, and appreciate what remains. See you this evening.

It's hot out there!! Why not cool down with, arguably, the greatest Rosato/rosé of all time?! Thanks to our buds , we proudly pour Rosato by the glass for just $15!! This isn't your average Rosato... Crunchy red fruit, Mediterranean herbs and salty sea spray combine for the ultimate wine for cured meats, light, veggie pastas (we have many!) or just plain ol' drinkin! Come back in the sun a drink a bottle!

For the nerds:
Bonavita is a small family-run winery that sits on the steep hills overlooking the strait of Messina and the coast of Calabria in the distance. Owned and operated by Giovanni Scarfone (quite possibly the sweetest man alive) the vineyards, surrounded by chestnut and oak trees, have belonged to the Scarfone family for almost a century. The DOC Faro, one of Sicily’s oldest, takes its name from the village of Faro Superiore which was founded in ancient times by a Greek population called “Pharii” who colonized the hills of Messina and introduced agricultural practices, especially the cultivation of vines.
The 2 hectares of vineyards are planted only with indigenous grapes, Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio and Nocera and are cultivated at an organic regime, without using any fertilizers or chemical pesticides.
The yields are kept extremely low and the entire production amounts to 3500 bottles.

Some images from Villetta Barrea, in the heart of the oldest of Abruzzo’s 3 national parks, where deer inhabit parts of the town nearly as much as people; they’re treated with respect. The weather during our stay was sunny and warm, cloudy with torrential rain, and blustery with heavy snow (sometimes on the same day). This is - without doubt for the presence of the deer - Magda the dog’s favorite place on earth.

A special shoutout to Massimo and Valentino at , who made two delicious meals with honest, frank, and stimulating conversation - amazing hosts, with brilliant senses of humor, which we all need right now. Their remarkable grigliata mista (included here) was a highlight of our visit.

None of this obscures the violence being done to our democracy, in our names, to innocents abroad - war crimes for which we’ll long have to answer. This is a reminder that beauty persists, and that there may be a future worth fighting for.

More to follow from Venosa (in Basilicata), and Scanno.
