We have been pretty lucky this summer until this week… when it hit the 90’s!
I just finished doing three weeks with an ex-client that came back, rented a villa with his friends.. for 3 weeks.
We had a blast!
We started the week in Panzano, and ate at Vescovino, which has recently been taken over by my friend Mario and his fabulous staff..
Check out this lovely Asparagus and fresh ricotta Timbale
Neither man nor woman live by food alone
this is one of Italy’s best wines, made in Panzano
by Giovanni Manetti of Fontodi
who happened to also be dining at Vescovino and was gracious enough to come to out table.
After lunch we went to visit another Giovanni, the local shepard, where we tasted cheese, bought honey and met the sheep. Doesn’t get much better than this!
We’re having some fun now!
David says
If it’s so hot, why does Giovanni look so cool?
Diva says
David, he may look cool, but trust me.. he is HOT! really..
Judith in Umbria says
Diva dear, is there any chance of having some fun with someone more local, like me? They are about to take my roof off, so as soon as I think the roses are safe, I will be wandering a bit… the bathroom has no ceiling once the roof is off.
Diva says
Showering under the sun and stars sounds fun.. building no!
We will probably cross paths as we are heading south to Puglia!
but let me know!
Always ready for a good time.
