Breakfast a la Francesco

The Prosecco had notes of honey and toast, which transported me to my childhood breakfast table. My family started every day with conversation around the breakfast table, and that’s where I have some of my fondest memories. We often spoke of imaginary situations where we could sit and have a conversation with anyone, past present or future, and imagined the possibilities of being able to cross the boundaries of time to have these conversations. For a wine to be able to transport me to my breakfast table, I consider it to be a true treasure, and it set my imagination to breakfast with Francesco Mionetto to discuss his passion for wine making, and it’s ability to transcend time to influence my passion for cocktailing. Imagine how that would make him feel to know that his wine had suck an impact, so far in the future, I envision his pride and satisfaction, and envision a smile that could tell a thousand stories.
