Meeting with the Shipbuilder

The two men entered the Dining Hall of Berengar's Castle, where they quickly sat down for breakfast. Berengar fully intended to display his Counties culinary arts and thus had ordered a variety of dishes, both breakfast, and dinner to be brought to the table.

Since Evio was an Italian, Bernegar knew he most likely wanted wine, so he brought forth a fortified wine that he had developed. It used the local wine production as a basis and added distilled liquor to it. The man instantly tasted the alcohol and nearly jumped with delight; it was intense but had excellent flavor and was unlike any wine he had encountered before. 

Evio immediately asked about the wine. 

"What is this? I have never had such a wine before?"

Berengar chuckled lightly before briefly explaining the origin of the wine.

"I don't have a name for it yet, but it is a specialty we make in Southern Tyrol. I enjoy the taste."
