The game of Bocce has origins that are quite old. However, recently a resurgence has increased the popularity of the sport often paired with delicious wines. The sport of bocce has very specific rules that the avid player can recount. For the rest of us the basics can be summed up briefly: You play in a long court that looks vaguely like a sand box with a compacted surface (often times oyster shell) and you start rolling from one end. The winner of a flipped coin places the “pallino” (A small ball) down the court beyond half way. Then each team tries to get closest to the pallino, with their appropriately colored bocce balls. This is all done while holding a wonderful glass of hope & grace pinot noir of course! For a more detailed explanation check out this link.
