...can I have some wine...?

James and I just got home from what was probably our best meal to date. He found a little out of the way place in our guide book called Vini da Gigio which was phenomenal. We both had insalate, and you know it's gonna be good when you're raving over how great the tomato is in your salad. We split risoto with fish/seafood (for due) which was probably the best risotto I've ever had...hand's down. It was creamy, the fish was amazing and I ate my entire plate (doesn't happen too often...). We finished off with tiramisu which was simply heaven. I truly wish we could share the meal with all of you out there in blogworld....

On to the wine...I have not had a bad glass of wine on this trip, and I've had opportunities since I've had a glass or two every day. I liked the czech wine Frankovka, but it doesn't hold a candle to the wine we've had in Italy. I don't even know what we're drinking half the time but it's dee-lishious! Even the house wines have been great. And let me just say for those of you who know what I'm talking about...it beats wine in a box ANY day!

We walked off our meal and took some more night shots. Hopefully I got a couple good shots. With 26 rolls and counting, I've got to have a couple good ones! I've had to buy more film twice, but it's all in the process and I love it.

We didn't try the gondola ride today, which they call vaporetto. Hopefully tomorrow after our trip to Murano.
