My neighbor Metello and his San Giovese
Today is the beginning of the vendemmia.
All my neighbors have been giving me grapes, seems to be a competition on who’s are the best.
My real next door neighbors. Vasco and Donatella, gave me some fabulous table grapes.
Metello, who sold me his aunt’s house, took time off harvesting to show me all his varieties and give me several different kinds. If I play my cards right, I will also get some precious Vin Santo!
That will be great!
With Vasco’s grapes, I did some pork shoulder chops, sauteed with fennel pollen, lightly salted,, and then deglazed with the Grapes and their juices.. wonderful!!!
