London, England - Ostuni
Sparkling Negroamaro rose, Angelini, Puglia 2013
I've always wanted to visit the Puglia region of Italy, but sadly have not yet made it there. Last night I found the next best thing:
Ostuni. Ostuni is a London (Queen's Park) restaurant entirely dedicated to the food and wines of Puglia. Dishes are unique and authentic, as is the setting. They have a large outdoor patio and the interior is decorated to reflect the "trulli" or traditional stone houses that can be found in Puglia. The
menu ranges from hot and cold antipasti, salads, traditional pasta dishes, fresh fish, and a variety of meats cooked in a large charcoal oven that is fired up each night.

I just ate at Ostuni last night and I woke up this morning wanting to go back again! I think this may just be a new favorite.
