Day 4
We started the day at Blenheim, after we strapped ourselves into the bunad. I had been looking forward to Blenheim, however I was very disappointed. The service was awful, the food was not great and they had strayed from their “from farm to table” philosophy. A shame, really, because I really liked Blenheim.
After Blenheim, we went straight to a T. Edwards wine tasting to meet up with Veglio and Gianfranco Alessandria. The highlight of my day. I stood in between their two booths and drank wine, ate piemonte hazelnuts and poured wine for the customers. My happy place.
After the tasting, the whole group went to the Bowery Hotel and had some champagne. Epic. Just Epic.
