Don’t worry, friends, I haven’t decided to rescind the promise of my subtitle. I was in Alabama, I was in Rome, and now I’m back. We moved in to a new house a few weeks ago, and life has been a whirl of discombobulation since then. Finally, things are settling down. Or at least flowing [...]

This one, led again by Pina Pasquantonio, the administrator here at the Academy and a sommelier, took us up several levels from the last one. We got to taste what I’ve only ever read about, and never expected to taste: “Super Tuscans.” We began, again, with a spumante: Ca’ del Bosco Franciacorta Cuvée Anna Maria [...]

After kneading the dough, I’m having my first relaxed moment of the day. (A glass of Lillet helps.) This morning, Jack slept late, which meant we all did.
