Cabanon Fattoria 卡巴儂酒廠之行

早上老爺說只剩下一瓶紅酒, 而且我也沒去過Giovanni 的卡巴儂酒場, 與Giovanni 電話連絡過, 吃過中飯後就開車往Godiasco, Pavia方向駛去.



Giovanni 是撒丁島出生, 很小的時候移民到加拿大, 然後再回到義大利與太太一起經營有機的酒廠.

當我們快2:00到時已經有三個客人/朋友, 早上9:30就已到, 嚐酒, 買酒, 聊天高興得很. 我們到了後也嚐酒, 我這個酒精度幾乎是零的人也跟人家嚐了3種. 結果一個臉紅了一下午. 這當中另外還有兩, 三人來要嚐/買酒, 但是Giovanni 以今天是假日而婉拒.


嚐酒時也有起司, 芥末甜醬, 臘腸, 麵包, 餅乾等等


這芥末甜醬超好吃的. 有很多種口味, 是當地的名盛, 下回去一定要買些回來.


自製的野豬肉臘腸.


牆上掛滿了各種證書

當一群男人邊喝酒邊談天, 我跑到外頭去照了一些相片.
除了製酒已外也養了不少動物:

Astra 8歲


雞, 鴨, 鵝


Lily-fly (英國獵犬) 4歲

另外也有養野豬, 可是我不願意去照相, 因為我有吃到野豬供給的臘腸.

種了不少花與菜蔬:






酒窟因為放假沒開, 但是我從牆外照了幾張"Margaret到此一遊"相片.






到了約4:30總算那群男人們酒足飯飽願意離去... 開車至倉庫取酒






最後我們買了:

2瓶: Dom Cabanon (Spumante) 泡沫白酒
2瓶: Riesling 白酒
4瓶: Pino Grigio 白酒
3瓶: Infernot 紅酒
3瓶: Bonarda (vivace) 紅酒
4瓶: Vino del Bosco 紅酒

另外:
1瓶: Elena - 泡沫粉紅酒, 稍甜, 與草莓, 甜點很麻吉.
1瓶: Oro - 白酒, 很適合配肝醬, 甜點, 較重味的起司

晚飯吃魚, 所已開了一瓶Pino Grigio.

[WIP/編織中] 棉花糖 Cotton Candy Socks

打完[二月小姐]後突然兩手空空怪怪的, 就把原本想帶去義大利打的襪線拿出來開打了[不一樣的襪子]

After finishing February Lady Sweater, all of a sudden I found my hands empty and not sure what to do with them, so I started the "Toe Up with a Difference" socks using the yarn I was going to take with me to Italy.


Designer/原作者: Wendy Johnson
Pattern/織圖: Toe Up with a Difference
Yarn/線材: 2球 Crystal Palace Panda Cotton Print #0432, 59% bamboo/竹纖, 25% cotton/棉, 16% elastic nylon/伸縮尼龍
Needle/針碼: 2.25mm


This is where the Difference is.

[FO/完成] February Lady Sweater 二月小姐外套

終於昨天將[二月小姐]打好. 加上扣子後試穿, 胸部稍微緊些, 但是下水洗過會尺寸剛好.
我打的尺寸是 37.5 的. 用線快800g. 袖子只有打過手肘, 實在是因為很重.

Finally, I finished the February Lady Sweater yesterday. Tried it on, a tad tight on the chest, however, after first wash, it should just be perfect.

I knitted the 37.5 Chest measurement size, used nearly 800g yarn. My sleeves are just pass the elbows, as the garment is really heavy.



天氣也轉熱, 這件就暫時收起來到秋天在出來與大家見面囉.

The weather has been so warm, I can't even put it on, so it's going to be packed away till Fall.
