Wine & Dine: Pairing Fine Food with Wine Wine in Fine Countries; Thursday, 4th Period [07/11].
The class was instructed that, unless specified, they'd be meeting at the portalocity office, and, so, hopefully, even if that message had not been received, they'd be wise enough to deduce as much. And, once he was certain everyone was there (certainly a benefit, to knowing most of the people taking the class already, most of them well enough to sense their presence easily without them having to even say a word), Ignis began.
"Good afternoon, everyone," he said. "Hopefully, you're all here for my Wine & Dine class, where we will be exploring a variety of different wines and local cuisine pairings from around this particular world, and, if you're not? Well," he smiled lightly, "let's hope the gnomes aren't going to be too picky about numbers and let you come along anyway. Although I'm certain most of you know me, allow me to introduce myself for completions sake: my name is Ignis Scientia, and I have been a fan of fine wines for quite some time, and while by no means a professional in self-proclaimed title of oenophile, my passion for the beverage has led me to an exceptional amount of research and knowledge, that I now hope to share with you all.
"Today," he continued, with a gesture toward the office that was more than likely pulling up their portal now, "we will head toward one of the titans of modern wine-making and no doubt one of the places your mind first may have jumped to when considering this class, and that would be Italy. Specifically, the Tuscan region, where we will find ourselves at Ill Borro, a vineyard with both history and excellent vintages, which we will discuss in further detail once we've arrived and settled.
