A1 #ItalianFWT Camilla here from CA's central coast. I blog at Culinary Cam. Link -> culinarycam.com It's a little early for wine right now, but I wanted to share my favorite glass. I turned 50 this year...

Q2 Have you visited the Piedmont-Aosta areas? Tell us about your favorite parts! Did you visit any Piedmont-Aosta producers while you were there? #ItalianFWT

A2 #ItalianFWT Though I lived in Italy for 13 months, I don't remember visiting either Piedmont or Aosta. I guess that means I will have to go back soon!

Q3 What was your initial impression of Piedmont-Aosta? One or the other? Or both? #ItalianFWT

Q4 How would you describe Piedmont-Aosta wine to someone who’s never had it? Top three adjectives, perhaps! #ItalianFWT

Q5 What did you pour? How did you select your bottle? Share a link to your tasting notes! #ItalianFWT

A5 #ItalianFWT I poured a couple of wines from Aosta. But, for this event, I opened up a bottle of Grosjean Vallee d'Aoste Gamay 2022. You can read my tasting notes -> culinarycam.com/post/aosta-las…

Q6 What food pairings did you do with the Piedmont-Aosta wines? Share a link to your blogpost for today. #ItalianFWT

Q7 What other food pairing ideas do you have? Any pairings that just didn’t work? #ItalianFWT

A7 #ItalianFWT Beef and Barolo is always a Piedmontese favorite. Back in 2017 I learned that there is a breed of cattle that is specific to that region. "Very meaty" they said! …nary-adventures-with-cam.blogspot.com/2017/08/beef-b…

Q8 Do you know / have you tasted other wines from the area? Which ones? #ItalianFWT

A8 #ItalianFWT Before this month, the only wine from Aosta that I had poured was a blend of Petite Rouge and indigenous grapes. I paired it with braised duck legs. …nary-adventures-with-cam.blogspot.com/2015/11/pluot-…
