Pack your best Stanley Tucci cosplay because we are going to Italy! This episode I am fortunate enough to sit down with Fabio Zenato, the Presidente of The Consorzio Tutela Lugana DOC. It is no suprise that everyone loves Italy - by association with The Best Ceats, it's safe to assume that you also love wine. So, let's talk about Italian wines, and in this instance, a region you may have ever heard of. The wines are fantastic, and the area is staggeringly beautiful. Fabio takes the time in this episode to discuss the history, the wines, and more, in an international first for The Best Ceats Podcast.

Grazie.

Bar Director Gianna Marcario of Darkroom joins the show to discuss the bar and cocktail program she's managing at the lauded restaurant. While Darkroom has been making waves with its food, its cocktails have taken a more subdued path to the public spotlight, due in no small part by the fact that this bar program is working without a full liquor license. This is not holding Marcario back, no. If anything it has emboldened her and her creativity as she and her team are putting out a wildly creative and delicious menu, featuring countless wonderful products, and in-house creations. She sits down to discuss her process in this new episode.

Enjoy.

- author, award-winning home brewer, taster extraordinaire, and more joins the show to discuss the art and science behind taste. One of the most important sensations we all experience - but experience differently - every single day. Her book, "How to Taste: A Guide to Discovering Flavor and Savoring Life," is a fantastically curated and researched guide on the art of tasting and how and why we all do so. She sits down to discuss the book, her process, how it can be incorporated into everything from daily practices, to staff trainings, and more.

Enjoy.
