2 Saturdays ago...
Chiara and my night started off with an aperitivo at our apartment (Coffele Soave Classico 2006 of course) with Stefano from Karezza and his girlfriend. Stefano is the fellow in the upper right photo using his pointer finger (or "his little friend" as he likes to call it) as a...well, finger puppet.
2nd stop...Enoteca Realda for a few glasses of Pra Soave Classico 2006. Realda is a new addition to Soave and owned by Roberto Anselmi, a wine producer in the region. His wines are not classified as "Soave DOC" but rather as "IGT Veneto". The interesting story behind this, as well as a more detailed description of Realda and the lovely ladies who work there (including Roberto's daughter Lisa) require the dedication of a separate post.
We were joined at Realda by a stellar crew of individuals including Chiara's cousin, 2 of his friends, Arianna (another "Fattore K" victim) Alberto & Giulia...and the hardcore crew from the Montefortiana (Matteo, his girlfriend Elena, Paolo and Elena).
Then it was off to Trattoria Dal Moro for dinner (picture in the upper left)...which is where I actually celebrated my 30th birthday and ate trippe for the first time (must admit, the stomach lining of a cow is pretty gosh darn tasty) and ucceli (roasted little game birds). Roberto from Karezza showed up just in time to head to our next stop...
...Bar Lazia in San Bonifacio (5 minute drive from Soave). If you are in the mood for a fabulous mojito, gin fizz or any other cocktail creation, Lazia is the place. Also has a cozy patio for partaking in some drinking outdoors and is one of the two locales where my bartender preferito works.
Final destination of the evening...Skylight Disco City in San Bonifacio. Don't really quite know how to describe this particular discotheque, which started out as a gay disco but definitely isn't purely a gay disco anymore. Word to the wise (gay or straight), if you are dancing with someone and they want to take you to "another room"...do not follow if you just want to explore the disco, are looking for a change of atmosphere, music, etc. Actually a word to the wise may not be required for those a tad bit less naive than yours truly.
btw...definitely try to strategically position yourself in the main room of Sky at around 3am to see the spectacular "shower show." Sorry, not providing any details. Have to experience it yourself.
Arrived at Sky around 1pm and after about 5 hours of dancing our bums off (see photos for reference)...we all went our separate ways to sleep our Sundays away.
