2015 Bucket List

As it is a new year, a year filled with possibilities, I have reflected on some of the things I never got to do in 2014. So here's a list of  few things I want to do in 2015.

1) Harvest. Ever since I started really getting into wine, I have wanted to be part of the Harvest. Eventually I want to have experienced every aspect of the wine making, but the next one on the list is the Harvest.

2) Champagne. I'd like to do a tour and a tasting, perhaps learn some more about Champagne.

3) Tartufo Hunt. There are two types of Tartufo hunting (allegedly): the one where it's a real hunt and you may not find any, and the one that is staged, and you find a clean truffle ready to be eaten. I would not mind either, because regardless it sounds fun, and you can't be a Piemontegirl and not have been on a Tartufo hunt.

4) Barolo Night. Another event I have yet to try, usually due to really bad timing. From what I hear, it's tons of fun, and you might spot Guiseppe Rinaldi in his green velour suit!

5) Take a class. Last year I took a wine class, Level 2, a class that covered everything. This year, I'd like to try something more specific. I know both Eataly and Otto give different classes. Otto's run Sundays or Tuesdays, and vary in wine topics. Eataly also has classes, however they are food related. Both sound good to me. Check out Eataly's classes here and Otto's classes here.
