Over the years we’ve received a lot of compliments about our school (we turn ’10’ in two weeks) but every once in a while we’re asked something more or less like this: so what is the student experience like? What would it be like for me, if I came?

We asked a local film crew to follow a typical student for an entire day and this is what they saw.

Thanks to Elisa from Brooklyn for her participation. We could have easily chosen a student from Greece, Canada, Australia or France.

I’m off to Sicily and Calabria by car (BY CAR!!!!) for the next few weeks to create a lot of little videos on the subject of Southern Italian wine. Be certain to forward them on to your food and wine loving friends.
