After my despair of last week it is only fair to post better news. My father is back from Tuscany and promises me he has a bottle of grappa which he secreted in his case for me. The anticipation, as always, is great.
I don't know if I mentioned this before but I have decided to escalate my grappa passion by endeavouring to collect as many bottles as I can. It is my ambition to invite friends round, have a good meal and then, with coffee, offer a variety of my favourite tipple. "Morbida, secca o fatta-in-casa-dio-mio-quanto-brucia?" will be available to all.
People are proud of their malt whisky bottles, I want a little mini-bar area full of grappa. OK, I'm starting small, I now have two bottles in the house. And a visit from Martino is imminent. The omens don't look that good for building the collection, do they?

hehe you need to work on brining more grappa in than you drink. This means drinking in moderation. Tricky, I know, especially when grappa is involved. but worth a try! The selection sounds rather an appealing idea...
My new bottle is now in place making a collection of two. I will post shortly about my first sampling!
A choice of grappa? That should get you at least an extra star in the Martino Rating.
Does that mean you will visit more often? I may need to increase my collection further...
