White Truffle Festival Alba October 14, 2010

Today was a beutiful day.  We are spending a few days in Alba, in anticipation for the festivities each weekend for the month of October and first weekend in November during the Truffle Festivals.   We visited the towns of Serralunga, beautiful medieval castle and wine tasting of barolos and barbaresco.  Visited the other charming towns such as LaMorra, Novello, Verduno, Barolo and Pollenzo.  We have had the best wine tastings in Enotecas and the food in the Piedmont area was phenomemal.   Having the tartufo shaved into our plates of risoto, homade pastas, eggs in a cassolet, was out of this world.  Some of the best restaurants in Alba were Osteria dell Arco, Osteria LaLibera, Guido's in Pollenza, and hanging out at the Vincafe and Tabola Calda.
