(Intro) Welcome to Modo di Bere, the podcast about wine and language and the people who keep local culture alive. I'm your host, Rose Thomas Bannister.
(RT) We sipped sparkling wine in a castle. We guzzled the world's finest prosciutto. We baked biscuits by the fire on the Texas High Plains. We drank fresh palm wine from a Calabash in Lagos State. We arm wrestled innkeepers. We learned the local slang.
We messed up basic Italian and accidentally brushed our teeth with denture cream.
