We were due a trip as part of my retirement this year to Italy but Covid19 stuffed that up, glad you made it over in January and enjoyed your time.
re: Grappa.....bit too strong for yours truly especially the home made variety, nearly took my head off the 1st time and that was just inhaling the fumes. The Triestini like their own dialects and enjoy singing....after a few grappas they sing and I sleep....then they give me Coffee which has me buzzing all night its that strong. ?
