Insieme a Rick Steves, famosa guida americana, autore di libri e conduttore di una popolare trasmissione televisiva dedicata ai viaggi. Dal suo blog: "In Venice, I spend my evenings visiting restaurants, then return to my favorite for a 10 p.m. dinner. This dining derby is my nightly ritual in Italy. When Pino, who runs the Antica Sacrestia, asked me how I like my wine, I said, “Complicato” — and he served up his house Amarone. I drank it like a monkey climbs a tree. Just when the branches were getting pretty bendy, he capped the meal with a glass of Sgroppino (a local cocktail specialty of squeezed lemon juice, lemon gelato, and vodka). "Sgroppino" comes from the Italian word for "to clean" (as in your palate)".
