My friend Kelly and I were taking a writing class together in December and we’d stopped by Litro, a restaurant in my neighborhood, for a glass a wine before class when a video team from the New York Times asked if they could film us. Don’t blink in the final seconds and you can see us. But better than that, the video does a great job of spotlighting several hotspots in Rome. Salute!

When in Rome…I drink wine. Lots of wine. So I was excited to take a Context Travel tour at the Villa Giulia National Etruscan Museum recently that focused on Wine and the Estruscans (and included a wine tasting). While I initially signed up for the tasting, it turned out that learning about the history of wine and the Etruscans was as tasty as a fine Primitivo. I got drunk on new knowledge.
