Dinner at the Palas!


  • Appetizers looking over the vineyards, and sunset with a 2003 Barbaresco and a 2001 Barolo can't be beat. Especially with steak tartare,  pasta with black truffles and other amazing stuff!

492 Reaches Great Heights!

With almost perfect weather,  we knew today would be special with a gondola ride up to Mont Blanc.  49 euros per person ain't nothin as they say, but on the anniversary... nuf said! More oxygen please!  There were 2 stopping points,  a champagne production facility,  playgrounds,  herb gardens, hammocks,  giant telescopes, great restaurants and of course,  killer views. Mont Blanc Why Not!  Everybody's taking photos for everybody!  Nick Colonna's next climb? (There were people at the top)  Toast to a great start of 492! When we returned to our country estate,  it was time to relax! Great foot of the mountain location!  Lovely indoor/outdoor pool with mountain views!  I think she's relaxing!  Not sure everyone here enjoys the beautiful sunshine? What would your caption be?

Champagne to toast the trip!  I've got to find this Testal stateside!  Exceptional vitello tonnato!  Zucchini flower with ricotta... Peggy's well- loved onion and cabbage soup!  Delicious trout in beurre blanc.  Peggy's pintade... also delicious!  As I'm writing this last entry for the evening,  the church bell chimes ten times, Peggy's enjoying/ministering to a single woman in the dining room and all is ready to be packed for our 2pm Turin to Frankfurt...
