As you all know, I was in Italy this past fall. Traveling, drinking wine, traveling, drinking more wine. Eating. The usual. A few weeks during my epic journey I was lucky enough to be joined by one of my best friends, Christina. We are two drama school pals that have both ended up in this crazy world of wine. She is (too) far away in London so whenever I travel to Europe, we always try to meet up. And wine drinking is always involved, of course. Add to that a Flip video camera- and I think you can see where this is going. I made this little “outtakes” video back in September and think it’s about time it made its BHMF debut. We had originally hoped to make a kind of homage to 3 Sheets… the female Zane Lampreys! When watching the footage all the “unplanned” and blooper clips were WAY more interesting than anything else we recorded. Lesson learned: nobody wants to hear you talk about wine. Seeing you get drunk- that’s the ticket.

3 months after this was shot, Christina and I reunited in Vienna. Oh yes, there is a Vienna video. And you will see it, soon enough.
Big ups to Clune McClune- wherever you are. With your menagerie of gold rings. I raise a glass of limoncello to you, good sir.

Whit, just saw this post–thanks for the mention and reminder of our crazy European journeys together! Can’t wait for France this year! Love ya xxxStina
Just ended up on your site from “Mutineer Magazine” which was a wander over from Drinkhacker.
Either way I just saw this post and had to watch the video. Looks like you guys had a blast. Makes me miss the area though, I went to high school just across the bay over in Naples, which was a great place to go to school especially when my father realized he liked Barolos/Barbarescos/Brunellos/etc. Meant that I could drink whatever of the cheap local stuff they had stocked the cellar with!
