Giardino delle Esperidi

The other day, without benefit of time or a really fast web connection, I mentioned seeing Susy Tezzon at Genoa (Terroir Vino exposition). 

Susy is a co-owner of the wonderful restaurant, Giardino delle Esperidi on the shores of Lake Garda. 

I thought it was worth reiterating something about the place and the delicious foods and wines they serve.

Here is an excerpt of a review from another web site:

The Giardino delle Esperidi is a high-quality restaurant and therefore you can expect an impressive menu. These expectations won't be disappointed: you can start with rolled herrings served with country mustard, followed by a very delicate cream of pumpkin with mullet roe. For the second course there are pork medallions cooked with black truffle, lamb chops with salmoriglio, cooked trout carpaccio with lemon and olives. Before the desserts are served, there is cheese, the curious "drunk" cheese which are flavoured with liqueurs. The sweets are also very good: try the creme brulee with star shaped anise. There is a good wine-list with an impressive range of spirits.

I met her at dinner, after Terroir Vino in Genova. We were together with you at the same table. She seems a very nice person, very funny and competent. I hope I'll have the chance to get to go to her place soon.
There is only one fault: she buys Morellino from another producer (a good one, Moris Farms). Nobody's perfect :-)

GP, I've always thought the Montereggio was Moris' best wine. Your Capatosta is hard to beat...I had it in Viareggio.

Caro Terry
sei sempre troppo gentile, scusa se non scrivo
in Inglese ma sono troppo arrugginita...
Mi ha fatto molto piacere rivederVi a Genova
anche se la cena è stata un vero disastro,
per fortuna che il Morellino era buono.
@Giampaolo
meno male che non sono perfetta sai che grandissima noia.Complimenti per il tuo vino
in futuro troverà senz'alto posto al Giardino delle Esperidi.
un caro saluto a tutti
Vi aspetto sul Lago di Garda

Abbraccio, Susy. Alla prossima, speriamo...al Giardino.

@ Gianpaolo -- il vino non ha abbinato bene alla cena, sarebbe stato meglio bere un vino sfuso.

[susanna tezzon]

è vero Terry il vino non era bene abbinato ma era insieme alla torta Pistocchi l'unica cosa buona(sono riusciti a rovinare anche la torta).
ti aspetto a Bardolino
bacioni susy

Dear Terry: I agree a 100% with your comments on Giradino delle Esperidi and Susy. She knows a lot about wine and her restaurant is very good but first of all she is a great woman with a lot of courage, very sincere and hard working. She deserves recognition! Lucia
