Favourite wine: “I always have a bottle of Champagne Blanc de Blancs in my fridge, but I also appreciate a simple glass of modest Bardolino from a top producer, but if there should be one, it will be a Great Volnay or a Chianti Classico, a Meursault or a German Riesling, and most probably a glass of Oloroso...”

Best wine tasted : Domaine de la Romanée-conti, Vosne-Romanée Les Echézeaux Grand Cru 2006, (bottle N°15939)

Favourite restaurant: “I will always keep in memory the perfection of Bocuse, the provocative rotten egg of Gilles Goujon, I love to talk about the beauty of the Tartare de boeuf you eat with the fingers at La Calandre in Padova, but I cannot forget beautiful moments at Azurmendi or Wagyu Takumi.”
