Rome – A Photographic Journey

written by Penny Sadler

As I mentioned in my last post I’m just back from a trip to Italy – Rome, Panzano, Lucca, with a stopover in Madrid, Spain.

This is my fifth trip to Italy now and I have so many photographs! As I’m organizing and editing new ones, I find it interesting to look back on past trips and photographs. It’s a little like reliving the trip each time. So while I’m organizing my photographs from this years trip, I thought it would be fun to share some photos from my first two trips to Rome.

One of my favorite new places in Santa Barbara is

One of my favorite new places in Santa Barbara is this Italian pizzeria on State Street. They have all the classics, including arancini, divine frito misto and that wood-fired oven, for Neopolitan style pizza. The owner is from Naples originally and turned this pretty little courtyard in Santa Barbara into a little slice of Italy on State Street.

Check it out if you’re in Santa Barbara. Be sure and check out my article about other things to do while you’re there. Link to my blog in my bio.

What I knew about Erin Kempe and Paolo Barbieri, t

What I knew about Erin Kempe and Paolo Barbieri, the dynamic winemaking duo in Santa Barbara County before I met with them was this:

originally from Parma, Italy, Paolo left Italy at the age of 22 and pursued a career in the restaurant industry in England. He became a Sommelier and spent more than 30 years managing world class, wine lists, working for prestigious restaurants in Las Vegas at places like the Bellagio, Wynn, and the Cosmopolitan.

While working with wines from several Santa Barbara County producers, Paolo was impressed with the quality of the regions vineyards. In 2003, he became a gargariste, making small, experimental lots of wine from Santa Barbara grapes. His objective has been to create Rhône varietals from the regions top Vineyards using minimalistic wine making techniques without heavy oak influence.

Erin Kempe’s culinary career started in her home state of Texas. A moved to Las Vegas brought her to work with culinary masters and James Beard winners like Hubert Keller of Fleur de Lys, Shawn McClain of Sage, and others.

After meeting Paolo she became passionate to help with winemaking. With Paolo, she created a new line label under her name, Kempe, which focuses on Bordeaux varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, petite, Sirah , and Bordeaux blends.

What I know now, after meeting them and tasting their wines is they are dynamite wine makers. With a real knack for allowing the grapes to express in the best possible way.

A few other things I found out, Paolo is from Rome. And he speaks with a Roman accent. I also found that he uses stem contact when pressing the grapes and he doesn’t use new oak. All the wines I tried were 2020 vintage, except for the Vermentino which was 2022 and a GSM blend which was 2018. The 2020 Coleso Canyon Syrah, get some!

Both labels were delightful, food-friendly wines with good structure, ripe fruit, well balanced, that you could also open and drink today.

Check out their Instagram to learn more about them. And give me a yes or no if you’d like to do a zoom chat with them and taste the delightful wines.

Have you heard of Franciacorta Wines? If you have

Have you heard of Franciacorta Wines? If you have not, you’re not alone. Most people haven’t.
If you love sparkling wine, I promise you will love these wines.

It’s a region of mostly small producers with only 11% of the volume produced being exported. Most of the region is producing organic wine, although there are a few vineyards that are not organic yet.

The region is also the name of the wine in northern Italy in the Lombardy region. The wine is made in the same method as champagne, referred to as the classic method. So if you like champagne, you will like Franciacorta because you have Italian quality, but without the high champagne prices.

But that’s not the only reason… these wines are fresh, lively, exciting really. They make your mouth feel alive. at the same time, they’re very delicate. And they pair perfectly with most foods.

I tried all of the wines, yes, I tried nine wines before lunch today.😳 and they were all beautiful. We were blessed to have a beautiful tasting menu at a fancy new restaurant @themistercharles located in a building dating to about 1900.

I will soon have more information about visiting this region and the wines on my website,.

Would you like to try Franciacorta?

IS ROME REALLY ALL THAT? written by Penny Sadler

IS ROME REALLY ALL THAT?
written by Penny Sadler

“One sidewalk cafe coming right up!” and off they go, bumping over the cobblestone streets of Rome. Imagine them: she choosing to abandon her responsibilities to experience a life she has, up to now, only dreamed of, while he plays the role of modern-day knight, on a Vespa.

She sits in front laughing, the wind in her face, as he points out ancient monuments and tourist attractions. He takes her to the Colosseum and then Rocca’s, a cafe near the Pantheon, the first stop in fulfilling her fantasy adventure.

Cliche? Of course. Wishful thinking? Obviously. And we all know how that film goes.

But I’ve done it. It happened.

Well, sort of.

I’ve been published !!!

The core concepts behind Rosie Cannon Ball are the wood-burning, oven and grill, and Comfort food with a southern European twist. To set the mood, the 85 seat restaurant married warm lighting with classic mid-century, design elements, such as glass, wood, marble, and rattan. By reworking the original seating, partitions, Riccio created a sweeping panoramic view of the restaurant from the kitchen, which sits adjacent to the bar – a throwback to 60s Italian design with warm, dark tones.

Because pizza is a quintessential comfort, staple on the restaurants menu, Riccio knew using high-quality cheese from a local producer was a necessity. Fortuitously, at the weekend farmers market in Houston, Riccio met Andrea Cudin: Friuli, Italy, native and founder of lira Rosa creamery. Since 2016, Cudin has been crafting, authentic Italian cheeses with the freshest milk possible from the milk parlor next-door. Four E Dairy.

This is what happens when you love what you do. My first article for this beautiful magazine all about cheese.

It’s a subscription only publication and it is available in some cheese shops, so check with your local monger if you’re interested.

So I went back to Santa Barbara last week and I have so much to share! I visited so many great wineries both in the Presidio and the Funk Zone. My taste buds are still talking about the delicious seafood and Italian food.

But before I get off on sharing about all the new places let me share about the #1 tourist spot in Santa Barbara.

The oldest working wood wharf in California, @stearnswharf

Scroll through the carousel for more shots of the wharf from the @sbsailing sunset sail and my morning walk. Oh yes the famous dolphin sculpture too.

Eat some ice cream, have some fish and chips and get a palm reading.

And I will put it in stories.
