Apart from the impressive wine tasting bar, it also has… a gelato serving case!

I visited twice, undercover and all. Took a few pictures (above). Tasted a few flavors (they were good and well made). Asked some innocent questions about their production (they make the gelati in the mornings on site, picking 20 from a book of 55 flavors).

Personally, I am thrilled that they’re doing this. The more people learn about gelato, the better it is for a new business. They’re doing all the work! The market will be primed for more gelato consumption.

All this I got second-hand from Pete. He told me that a few people in the meeting were surprised, like they had no idea. Chef Alex was reported to have said, “of course! I always knew she had it in her.” Or something to that effect.

Eep! I have to get in gear!
