This has been a bad week to build up to a big Thursday night grappa fest. My son has decided that 5am is a good time to start talking to us through the intercom. This is endearing for about 30 seconds and then soul-destroying. Maybe grappa fume breath is the only solution?
A team of 11 good men (and Martino, hee hee) will be gathering to celebrate the Giovedi club over a hearty steak and a few glasses of red wine. I know there will come a point in the night when I should switch to softer beverages and head to the hills. Will I learn the lesson at last? Unlikely, I would imagine. But then my little five o'clock alarm will sound...

And what a night it was. The absentees were not missed and those that attended are worthy bearers of the Giovedi tradition.

I'm drinking this at the moment, and my it's tasty. Smooth and rounded, slightly vanilla-ish almost but not sweet, goes down extremely nicely, I recommend it highly next time you're in the Trentino.
I'll certainly try to fish one of those bottles out Spangly. Maybe to celebrate Roma's Champions League triumph! I don't understand how they were 25/1 the round before this and now that they are through are now 33/1 to win it!
haha maybe the statisticians have been on the grappa too
