A new testimonial!

I have the pleasure to add this testimonial which Paulo Faustini (www.paulofaustini.com), singer from Philadelphia wrote me, to add here:

While visiting the Chianti Classico area I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Christina Wespi, who graciously took us on a lovely day tour of some Chianti Classico wineries. I found her to be knowledgeable, professional, enthusiastic, communicative, and kind - a true find! I highly recommend her to anyone going to the area and looking for a true Chianti Classico enthusiast and tour guide. She also took us to a lovely rustic trattoria in Montefiorale where we savored a beautiful, rustic, simple yet exquisite Tuscan meal: "tagliata and pappardelle al cinghiale", accompanied by an excellent Chianti Classico of the local cooperative, quite lovely, actually. The family owned place was very Tuscan, and we were greeted and treated with the warmest openness and gracious hospitality. I highly recommend Christina Wespi.

Thank's Paulo! I hope your preparation for the Umbrian Serenade's is going smoothly and I truly hope to make it for your choir in Siena in July! And if there is anything I can do for you, let me know. Oh and please give a hug to Holly!!

cari saluti

Cheap wine tasting tours and other stuff

Hi there!

If you should struggle over my Google "ad words" campaign called "cheap wine tasting tours" don't worry! As my clients know, my tours are far beyond cheap if it comes to service, entertainment and knowing of everything around wine, moneywise and compared to other companies: yes. Then I'm cheaper then a lot of my competitioners. So why I chose to call the campaign "cheap wine tasting tours" is just because I thought it's a neat idea and something new. Hope you don't get it wrong.

Here weather is still ugly, wet and muddy. In my garden the early spring flowers are growing and there is a hell of work to do with pruning the trees. We did not start yet with that, but it's work which should be done. As well as preparing the soil to start in some months with the veggy garden and flower garden. Carlo will have to use his muscles and the machine to help me there. It really buggers, that my neck/shoulder part is healing so slow. I know I have something to learn here and yes I'm on my path. But as my friends know: patience and I are not married at all.

I'm a bit nervous thinking of the 6th level Shiatsu, but it's even more important than the last one, which would be the 7th level. It's the def. "ass kicker" to study, practise and go ahead with my thesis. Well anyway, maybe you noticed that I will not do tours from 28th February till 6th March, not because I'm in holidays but because I will be gone for the whole week for said level. It's held in an Agritourism which is called "I tre Santi" near Montespertoli and it's the first time that a level is held in a full week instead devided in week ends. But the two last levels are only for upcoming Shiatsu practicionars (therapists) and are intense. So in another way I'm looking forward to be in some kind of "monastry week" together with a bunch of people I hardly know. Not that this would be a problem for me.

I update you and wish you for now a lovely day or quite night.

cari saluti

Christina
