IMPORTANT HEALTH ADVICE FOR WOMEN ON HOLIDAY

Do you have feelings of inadequacy?

Do you suffer from shyness?

Do you sometimes wish you were more assertive?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist about Chardonnay.
Chardonnay is the safe, natural way to feel better and more confident about yourself and your actions. Chardonnay can help ease you out of your shyness and let you tell the world
that you’re ready and willing to do just about anything.
You will notice the benefits of Chardonnay almost immediately and with a regimen of regular doses you can overcome any obstacles that prevent you from living the life you want to live.
Shyness and awkwardness will be a thing of the past and you will discover many talents you never knew you had. Stop hiding and start living, with Chardonnay.
Chardonnay may not be right for everyone. Women who are pregnant or nursing should not use Chardonnay. However, women who wouldn’t mind nursing or becoming pregnant are encouraged to try it.
Side effects may include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, incarceration, erotic lustfulness, loss of motor control, loss of clothing, loss of money, loss of virginity, delusions of grandeur, table dancing, headache, dehydration, dry mouth, and a desire to sing Karaoke and play all-night rounds of Strip Poker, Truth Or Dare, and Naked Twister.
WARNINGS: -

* The consumption of Chardonnay may make you think you are whispering when you are not.
* The consumption of Chardonnay may cause you to tell your friends over and over again that you love them.
* The consumption of Chardonnay may cause you to think you can sing.
* The consumption of Chardonnay may lead you to believe that ex-lovers are really dying for you to telephone them at four in the morning.
* The consumption of Chardonnay may make you think you can logically converse with members of the opposite sex without spitting.
* The consumption of Chardonnay may create the illusion that you are tougher, smarter, faster and better looking than most people.

Now Just Imagine What You Could Achieve With a Good Super Tuscan!!!

Traveller’s Prayer

Heavenly Father look down on us your humble, obedient tourists, who are doomed to travel this earth taking photographs, mailing postcards, buying souvenirs, and walking around in drip-free underwear.

We beseech you Lord to see that our planes are not delayed, our luggage is not lost & overweight baggage goes unnoticed.

Give us this day your divine guidance in our selection of bed ‘n’ breakfast.

We pray that the toilets work and the telephone operators speak our tongue, that there are no emails from our children which would cause us to cancel the rest of our trip.

Lead us to good inexpensive restaurants where the wine is included in the price of the meal and local taxes are not added on later.

Give us the wisdom to tip correctly in currencies we do not understand. Make the natives appreciate us for the loving people we are, and not for what they can extract from our purses.

Grant us the strength to visit museums, the cathedrals, the palaces, and if we skip an important monument to take a nap after lunch, please have mercy on us as our flesh is weak.

Dear God please protect our wives from “bargains” they don’t need, can’t afford, and can’t fit into their suitcases anyway. Lead them not into temptation, for they know not what they do.

Almighty Father, keep our husbands from looking at foreign women and comparing them to the vintage domestic model. Save them from making complete fools of themselves in nightclubs. Above all, do NOT forgive them their trepasses for they know exactly what they do. And worse, enjoy it.

When our journey is over. grant us the persistence to find someone who will watch our home movies and listen to our stories, so our lives as tourists will not have been in vain.

This we ask you in the name of Conrad Hilton,Thomas Cook American Express, Visa, & Mastercard.

Tre bicchieri al Cortevecchia 2005

Il Chianti Classico Riserva Cortevecchia 2005 di Fattoria Le Corti del Principe Corsini ha ricevuto, al Salone del Gusto di Torino, il riconoscimento dei Tre bicchieri della Guida Vini d’Italia 2009 firmata da Gambero Rosso e Slow Food.
“Sono onorato e felice che, ancora una volta, Fattoria Le Corti riceva i Tre bicchieri – afferma Duccio Corsini – è un riconoscimento che premia il lavoro fatto in questi anni mirato a far emergere le Corti nel territorio del Chianti Classico. Vorrei sottolineare che mi pare una scelta prudente quella di premiare una Riserva di Chianti Classico – che più classico di così non si può! Don Tommaso è per me la migliore espressione di territorio della Fattoria Le Corti”.

A week in Florence , very elegant appartment

Our stay in Florence has been memorable, thanks to the luxurious apartment we stayed in.
Bonnie Prince Charles Suites is very well equipped, comfortable and spacious. The garden is monumental and informal at the same time. We enjoyed very much having dinners on the terrace. The staff is very friendly and discreet, very well trained. Fantastic privacy.
Thanks for such a fantastic hospitality

Tre Bicchieri……… quale etichetta?

Un vino di Fattoria Le Corti ( Principe Corsini ) ha ottenuto i tre bicchieri nella guida Vini d’Italia edita da Slow Food – Gambero Rosso 2009.
Dal primo ottobre verranno pubblicati i primi risultati ufficiali secondo una scaletta che va dai premi speciali a tutte le regioni italiane. Il 23 ottobre sarà la volta della Toscana, soltanto due giorni prima della presentazione ufficiale della guida che si terrà il 25 ottobre a Torino durante le giornate di Terra Madre e del Salone del Gusto, nel cinema Pathè (via Nizza 230) del Lingotto alle ore 10,30. La degustazione dei premiati si svolgerà – come è ormai consuetudine – sulla Rampa Nord dell’ex fabbrica Fiat.
Ogni giorno alle 10, collegandosi con il sito di Slow FoodIn alto i calici, sarà possibile conoscere regione per regione i riconoscimenti attributi alle cantine italiane dalla Guida Vini d’Italia 2009. All’insegna di una comunicazione Slow!
