My (ridiculously cute) parents had flown down from Alaska to be with the girl-girl with I was away. They picked me up at the airport, we spent about a day and a half together before they headed off for more of their own adventures. And now I’m back in Flagstaff spending my time like this:

This week I’ll be posting more details from the trip to Friuli–review comics on some of the stand out wines from the trip, pictures from days 4-7, and an overview article on Colli Orientali del Friuli complete with the appellation varieties’ typicity cards–you know, like this: http://wakawakawinereviews.com/2012/04/04/colli-orientali-del-friuli-sauvignon-considering-the-varietys-local-typicity/

Interested in seeing more from our trip? The aggregate blog is still up and being updated here: http://cof2012.com/

So grateful for my time in Friuli. Miss it. Thank you again to The Consortium of Winemakers from Colli Orientali for hosting us. I’m so grateful!
