One of the best parts of wandering around a place like Soave, Verona, Italy, is that there seems to be no end of winding side streets and partially hidden walkways, as well as a few paths lost to rubble and time. This particular one was certainly in fine shape, the stone slippery from hundreds of years of foot travel and slightly overgrown but in the most intentional way.

It's widely known that I'm not much of a wine drinker. However, the Soave at the Pieropan family's winery was quite good. Was it better because we were in Italy or because we were amongst good friends, or just that famous French concept of terroir kicking in? Who knows. Maybe we shall try again someday to test these theories and more. In the meantime, happy Friday, world. Enjoy a toast of your favorite spirit, bubbly, or brew (responsibly, of course). 

I don't care if Monday's blue,
Tuesday's gray and Wednesday, too,
Thursday, i don't care about you,
It's Friday, I'm in love.
