Where do I start ?????

After a very long and tiring trip over ….Hobart to Melbourne to Singapore to Dubai to FINALLY Milan Italy I arrived. I have lost 8 hours somewhere but am catching up.

I have had an incredible experience since, thanks to the wonderful organization from Chris and Nicola from La Villa (my accommodation owners), Valli Little (well-known for association with Delicious Magazine and her cooking expertise, and absolutely beautiful person) and MartinTeplitzky (chef and son of well-respected  Gretta Anna Teplitzky)….  what can I say.

We have been wined and dined in style with the occasional entertainment freely supplied by the group of approximately 20 of us……not always suitable to publicize on this blog.

I am only into day 2 of a 7 day experience. Last night we enjoyed a 5 course dinner prepared by chef Charlie Mozley with wine pairing by local wine maker (and female) Chiara Boschis. I really enjoyed talking to someone so passionate about something she believes in. She reminded me of Mal and his boats except in this case it was wine.  Today we visited the town of Acqui Terme to explore the Fresh Produce Market buying supplies for the cooking today. We certainly are not hungry or thirsty !!!!!
