Good morning, David. And thanks for the mention! So pleased my piece inspired you to write this. First of all: yes please, write about food! In fact, if you have any specific wine pairing ideas for Italian — or even Apulian! — food that would be amazing. I’ve also been wondering: who came up with that proverbio?! “Un piatto si mangia due volte: la prima con gli occhi, la seconda con la bocca.” Probably not someone from Puglia. Ahah
Well, it's cool to read what others are writing and draw inspiration from them, so thank you for writing about Apulian food. Yeah, it's likely that there will be an intersection of wine and food in future posts. As you know, Puglian food has the unique characteristic of spice/hot peppers. The whole "what grows together, goes together" is perfect with wines like Primitivo from the region. A post for another time.

I love Giovanna’s writing and her recipes so was happy to be enticed into your world.
I think capturing the deliciousness of some dish’s is impossible, better to capture the smile in a saucy face.
