Friuli Doc in Udine
A trip to Udine during Friuli Doc is…
I couldn’t make it Friday night, so I joined the party on Saturday morning, the party being a mix of friends and soon-to-be-friends that happened to arrive in town on Friday. Well, technically it was already Saturday, traffic-jams had them arriving around 2am. They also happened to drink and play board games till sometime around 6am.
You can therefore imagine how prompt they were in welcoming me on Saturday morning, sometime around 10am. I gave a call to the friend owning the house, as previously agreed, and I could sense she was struggling when she answered. “Did I wake you a up?”. “Er.. No.. Just a bit…”. 
It took the best part of 5 hours for everybody to get up, have some breakfast and get ready to go out. And in those hours soon-to-be-friends become friends, we had several breakfasts, chatted a lot, laughed even more.
We therefore went toward the city centre, had aperitivo, and after a not-very-long walk we settled for lunch. The meal was full of laughing, too, as well as frico, polenta, prosciutto di San Daniele, gulash and more… not to mention wine. Lunch ended around 6pm…
So there we were again through streets full of people, food, wine, music… not a bad treat, isn’t it?
Chat, food and wine mixed together several times during the evening and night, with a final stop to the All Black pub on the way home, were some “serious” drinking was due (that’s to say, we had a fine dram of whisky, too 
).
A trip to Udine during Friuli Doc is FUN.
