One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.
— Virginia Woolf
One of the core ideas in this book is the parity between wine and food in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. There is a good deal of dialogue between those who make wine and those who make food. People in this region have a knowledge that is second to none of the mysterious ways that flavors in food and wine combine to create something truly extraordinary in your mouth. This concept of parity is very important to fully enjoy the region’s cuisine and wines. When you bear in mind that the food and wine of this region rank among the best in Italy, you quickly discover that Friuli-Venezia Giulia is not only a fortunate land, but also a secret treasure waiting to be discovered.
