Virtual wine tasting

[Tortuga]

We have received an invitation from a local winery for a virtual wine tasting today. I have no idea what that it.

 

Has anyone had a virtual wine tasting?

I’ve done a virtual whiskey tasting.  Basically they give you a list to purchase yourself and then you join the zoom where they talk and teach about it. They may give you tips, tasting recommendations, food pairing ideas, etc.  They may even have you purchase certain foods, maybe cheeses for wine, so you can practice tasting the different pairings. It’s a learning experience. 

Depending on what ones they choose to include in the tasting, it can be expensive to purchase everything. Fortunately I have friends who are whiskey aficionados and they supplied me with half a shot of the bourbons I didn’t have.

I thought it was about licking your screen..

Bomboloni, which are these absolutely mind-blowing Italian doughnuts. These are completely homemade and easier than you’d think! The only problem, as usual, is patience. You have to give these babies enough time to rise so that they become light, fluffy, sugary clouds.

 

 

Bomboloni donut filled with chantilly cream {or diplomat cream, depending on who you ask}, which is a heavenly combination of pastry cream {cream pasticcera} and whipped cream. 

The only downside to this heavenly mixture is that the cream starts to deflate and liquify as it sits in the bomboloni, so I’d say stuff right before serving for best results!
