My Cousin, from Germany, is in town from Iraq & he has loaded our cupboard with goodies.

20 year old Balsamic Vinegar from Modena Italy.

Nectar of the Gods.

Hungarian Paprika with spoon & Italian spice satchel.

He also brought us a huge pack of squid ink pasta, honey vinegar & assorted German candy from his mom.
It was like christmas in Jan.
I can't wait to try the squid ink pasta.

Ice Wine is good. There's a festival here every year at "the next Whistler":

The Ice Wine Festival is obviously during ski season but the riding there is supposed to be stellar as well.

Nice one mate. Make sure you gorge yourself stupid on all that good grub. Italy is one of the few countires I wanna go to solely for the intention of eating their food. Not much interested otherwise though I'm sure it's nice.

my wife brought back two nice bottles for me...one a riserva chianti and the other a blend (could be a super tuscan, never had heard of the vintner before).
