Enoteca "Al 32" - Sacile

Last night Tom and I stumbled upon this great little wine bar called Enoteca "Al 32" in Sacile. I say stumbled because Tom suggested out of the blue that we take a drive to Sacile for a glass of wine. As we were strolling down one of the beautiful streets along the river, looking for a place to stop for a glass of wine, we peeked our heads into this place and fell in love with it immediately. It had such a warm atmosphere and looked as though it was right out of the movie Under The Tuscan Sun. We were immediately welcomed by the owner and offered a quick education on some of the local wines as well as some of his favorites. It was very evident by the amount of wine bottles/corks spread throughout the place he knew exactly what he was talking about when it came to wine. We settled upon two glasses of Barolo and enjoyed them immensely. We were also excited to find out that in just a few minutes they were going to have some live music. The owners wife and 2 other musicians were going to perform together. His wife sang a mixture of jazz and cabaret while two men played guitars. It was very raw but amazing. Most of the songs were sang in Italian and we had absolutely no idea what they were about, but nevertheless, we enjoyed them. After the music and the wine Michelle commented to the owners on the cute wine cork decor. The owner wife told us that she loves to make things out of wine corks- it's was obvious from all the wine being opened up in the short time we were there she had plenty of corks to choose from. I asked if she would consider making me one of the many decor items she had made and displayed in the bar. She said yes and told me to call her next week... I'm so excited!... I'm also looking forward to taking some of our friends and family when they come for a visit... So Uncle Tony & Aunt MaryAnne when you come back in June we have a new place for you to visit! :) For the rest of our friends that live here in Italy stop by and check it out the next time you're in Sacile.
