Our Peeps at Pianetta

Reason #183 why this is the best job in the world: Grandma Alice.

At Pianetta Winery's "Taking Flight" event our menu paired some hearty small-bites with some of their delicious reserve wines. If you get a chance, try some of Pianetta's award winning wines at their tasting room in downtown Paso. Guests enjoyed an evening of hospitality provided by Caitlin, Angie and the whole lovely Pianetta "family." Those of us in the kitchen were treated to Grandma Alice. A sprite and charming woman of 75 or so, Grandma Alice stuffed us with her addictive biscotti, shared 100 year old Italian recipes, and told us tales from her days as a young girl. How adorable are Chef Hope and Grandma Alice here pouring over an old recipe?
