[zozo_dropcap color=””]M[/zozo_dropcap]atteo thought I was Italian. Close, from Barcelona, I said. He recently arrived in San Francisco and is living with his girlfriend in Mill Valley. It’s all really new and you can see it on his face. Matteo moved from Naples to be with his American lover who he met during a gastronomy course in Italy. A love story in San Francisco that has him wonder how to stay in the States longer. He would like to improve his English and he will probably take English classes. However, what he really wants is to learn more about wines. With a big smile, he tells me he wants to take a Sommelier course. Why not?! I ask and affirm at the same time. Go for it!. He sounds so excited, there’s no doubt in my mind he will make it happen.
Matteo has the energy of a new arrival that wants to absorb everything around him. And trust me, that’s the way it should be. I’ve been there. As you told me as I was leaving:
Ciao bello!
