Harvest, online shop, testimonials...

Incredible but true, lots of the vinyeards already started with the harvest. Due to the warm winter everything was one month ahead in growing, which continued throughout the summer. It seems that the quality of this year 2007 will be very good. I'm fairly inpatient to taste it!

Ah one thing I've forgot to post was this fun picture here, during my travel to Switzerland I had some fun to take pictures with my Lumix camera (usually I use a Canon D300 which for fun pics is just too heavy, at least when you are driving and you have only one hand free to pic around).




and this one here from my "Babyboy" Milou



(seemed to be realy boring this trip....)

Anyway! I'm just sitting with a nice glass of IGT "Ripa delle Mandorle" 2005 from Castello Vicchiomaggio here. On your wine tasting tour you will get the chance to taste it by yourself. I'm curious about your opinion.

Further on I decieded to create an online shop, where I will sell part of the wines from my tour as well as wines from other vineyards and as well olive oil!

I know, I still do have this damn bug in IE for the correct layout of my website, my friend Stefan from Germany is banging his head against the wall (in the meantime) because I did not got the clue what he told me to do... Well, please forgive me!!!

And I'm very proud to text some of my clients feedback here (the most recent ones):

Hi Christina,

My boyfriend Stephen and I did a tour with you some years ago now but we still remember it! We had a great time and I am about to pass on your details to a colleague that I am working with currently ...

Hi Christina,

Thank you so much for a great wine tasting tour of Chianti. It was a great experience for David and myself. We loved it and really enjoyed meeting you. I have attached some photos from the day. I hope we are in Florence again so we can get together! Who knows what will be going on in our lives, but I know we will definitely have some funny stories to tell! Thanks again for a fantastic afternoon!

Cheers,

B. H, USA


To all of my clients who still read my blog, if you want to post a testimonial by yourself don't hesitate! If everything goes fine, I will write an article about Chianti Classico for a very big online Wine site. As soon as it's done, I for sure let you know.

cari saluti!

Christina
