Welcome to the inaugural episode of Joseph and Patroski’s Wine + Travel Show!

In our first segment, Joseph and Patroski talk about the amazing places, and share some spectacular stories about a few of the Italian destinations on their upcoming tour in 2012. Joseph tells some amazing anecdotes about the Roman Coleseum and Emperor Barbarossa…to name just a few.

Our second segment featured this week’s sponsor, Figo Pasta and Alberto Fedeli. Alberto talked about his journey to Atlanta from Ancona, Italy.

But the highlight of the entire show was Alberto explaining the importance of the the meal. The pace of it, the importance of time with the family, the simplicity of it, enjoying the wine…all before the actual food. Trust me, it is the highlight of the broadcast…

Finally, our third segment was a more detailed conversation around the importance of food and wine as a critical element of the Italian experience. Patroski talked about a few of the wines and the regions that will be visited on the tour, and the careful planning that went into pairing food and wines together — and how each meal will be an essential and memorable moment on the tour…

Patroski shares, quite eloquently, how the experiences of wine and food will be as essential as the sights and locations on this trip…

In future episodes, the four of us will explore, in more details, the food, the wine and the locations of Italy — in more detail, more stories, and insights that will make you feel like you are there. Joseph will make you feel like you are there. Patroski will help you feel like you are tasting the wine…

This is only the beginning my friends… join us on our Italian adventure in 2012… And more amazing destinations soon thereafter…

Happy Holidays, and we’ll be back after the New Year!
