A friend of mine organized a reunion of friends at La Solaia e Nardone, in Tuscany. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing hike overlooking Val di Chiano, a tiny village with breathtaking landscape. The food is another story……

During our luncheon on 10-10-10, our meal started with an appetizer that was the best I have ever eaten. It was a combination of mascapone cheese and truffles = flavours of the Gods…..

I look forward to taking this combination back to NY and sharing with my friends and family. Not to mention, the Chianti wine was outstanding and yes indeed, we had plenty.

I am now in Florence getting ready for a wine tour and interview with local TV.

a presto,
