John and Liz's Busy Day



Italy Journal
Tuesday, November 13, 2012


Tuesday was full of fun. After my Italian class with Sara…always helpful and a delight…Sara came back to my house to practice interview skills for a job interview she was having. It was good to have Liz listening from the kitchen. She had some good suggestions. Fortunately, I had found a great website that gave suggested interview questions with English answers, so I gave that website to Sara, too. She told me later that she found it really helpful. She did well on her interview, but is not sure she will take the job if it’s offered…”We’ll see!”

This (from Switzerland…pronounced “tees”) was waiting for us at Banca del Vino to give us a great tour of the facility. The Bank of wine was full of donated wine from vineyards all over Italy. Some of it was given to store indefinitely. The rest was given for people to taste while they were there. We had a great time, and This was the perfect guide! You are the best, This! Thank you so much.

The day just kept getting better and better. Jess, one of Peter’s classmates, and 7 more friends (including Dan, who was visiting from the States) came over in the evening for a blind wine tasting event. Dan and Jess are from the Northwestern U.S., so all the tasting wines were pinot noir. Peter made another of his marvelous meals, and as the meal progressed, another wine was brought out for tasting. Then, anybody who wanted to graded each wine on their form. We had lots of laughs, and the whole group had a great time. Thanks, Jess, for including us in your blind wine tasting event.
