Daniele Bondi - January 9, 2004

from the introduction of desserts to courses about wine familiarization.

The dynamic association “Frignano Gourmet” kicks off the new year with an activity-filled calendar directed to both new and existing associates.

• The technical course entitled “Avvicinamento al mondo del vino”, or "Approach to the Wine World" takes place every Tuesday from January 13 to February 3, 2004. The sessions start at 8:45 PM and are a mix of theory and hands-on techniques, during which the sommelier Luca Giacobazzi will introduce the participants to different cultural aspects linked to wine production. He will lead the pupils through the visual, olfactory and taste examination of three wines each evening, and will introduce the basics of pairing food and wine. The last evening will be dedicated to Spumante wines.

• Among other cultural events held at Gian Luca Di Stasio restaurant“La Vecchia Quercia”, or "The Old Oak", noteworthy is the introduction of Daniele Bondi's second novel titled “Schiavi della libertà” "Slaves of freedom), and evenings dedicated to the tasting of quality wines and typical products.


• Two well known associates, chocolate chefs Valter Tagliazucchi from Pavullo nel Frignano (winner of last year Pastry Gran Prix in Barcelona, Spain,), and Marisa Tognarelli from Sestola (creator of Sestola's Giochi di cioccolato, or "Chocolate extravaganza") are scheduled to appear at Rimini Sigep's from January 17 to 21, competing for the fourth Barry Callebaut Italia Trophy. They will prepare a chocolate structure featuring this year's challenge theme, “XX Secolo: scoperte e avvenimenti che hanno cambiato il mondo”, or "20th century: discoveries and events that changed the world". In the meantime, the products and sweet creations of the two pastry chefs are flying off the shelves at the respective cake shops. The highlights are Tognarelli's excellent “troufés al caramello” and Tagliazucchi's cherry panettone, which are among the favorites of international champion chef Danilo Freguja.
