February is the Italian Food, Wine and Travel group’s second month climbing Italy. I say climbing because we are working ourselves from the bottom of the boot to the Alps at the top. Our January Sicilian adventures with Culinary Camilla (link) propelled us to Puglia, the long and skinny heel of the boot, where our virtual exploration of all things #ItalianFWT continues. Yes, #weareinpuglia and we hope you will join us – see below!
The cast of participants and the part each person contributes
Our #ItalianFWT posts go live this Friday and Saturday, February 3rd and 4th starring:

And here at Savor the Harvest, Lynn discusses “Negroamaro Three Ways from Puglia + Food Pairings”
Well this certainly sounds like fun, being in a group of writers focusing on Italian wine and food. It’s one of my favorite countries… I cook a lot of Italian and love the wines but I’m no expert. I see what Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods have and try different types. I can’t join this month but am noting you all for the future.
I hope you’ll join us next month, it is indeed fun and a super group of people!
So looking forward to reading the contributions so I can re-live some fond memories of Puglia and get some ideas for future trips and sips!
I’m sure the wines (and food pairings) will give you plenty. Thanks for supporting us!
Thanks for hosting, Lynn! I’m enjoying getting to know this region better for my article. Will there be a twitter chat on Saturday at 8am?
No, not this month. I stated that in the FB group event.
