What on earth could be more appealing to a gourmand than the University of Gastronomic Sciences (UNISG) in Italy? In a word: nothing. Join me on a tour of the one place on this planet that tugs at my heart strings (and brain cells) like no other as we take a journey through Italy’s history and gastronomy. Begun as an estate many moons ago, UNISG’s Pollenzo campus is a tribute to food, wine and artisanal production with Jonathan, a second-year student whose knowledge and enthusiasm made our tour delightful…

http://blip.tv/file/get/Foodphilosophy-FoodPhilosophy33TastingWineWithTheSenses300.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed You’ve probably tasted wine with your tongue, but have you ever engaged all of your senses in the process? How about your retronasal passage? Explore along with me as I learn how to approach wine more sensually – and how the mind can trick us along the way.

(www.fontanafredda.it) We’ve also got lots of wine advice for the holidays at the Gilded Fork, including wines for…
FP30: Gianni Gagliardo and Tasty Beverages
http://blip.tv/file/get/Foodphilosophy-FoodPhilosophy30GianniGagliardoAndTastyBeverages199.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed There’s nothing like a tasty beverage this time of year, and in addition to one fantastical flaming coffee recipe, it’s time to explore wine with Gianni Gagliardo (www.gagliardo.it), founder of the famous Barolo Wine Auction. Gianni is a pioneer in the Piemonte region, where he stepped away from convention to blaze his own trail in wines — ones that are now filling my wine rack. I’m also getting better at wine tasting, so it looks like that trip to Italy is having a domino effect on my senses. I do believe…

On my recent trip to the land of truffles, wine and hazelnuts, we got to indulge in the fine art of eating and drinking as only the Italians can, including hunting in the woods with Lady the Truffle Dog and sampling all the wonderful flavors at the White Truffle Festival in Alba (and beyond, but that’s for the next couple of shows). I had some delightful companions on my tour, and they kept…
