A letter from Georgia, USA, and a reply from Pierluigi: a small exchange about wine, friendship, and a wine tasting at Tenuta Torciano that nobody forgot.
Just wanted to know about costs and sales for wine from Tenuta Torciano here in the USA. I live in Georgia and want to see what wines you have available for sale and for shipping to my home. The Poggio ai Cieli 2009 Vernaccia was very good! You had sales during Christmas and I did not keep the email, so I wonder if you have anything like that now.
My wife and I had a wine tasting with you at Tenuta Torciano with the "GoAhead" tour and Katia DiLodovico in May 2010. We had a great group of people and will never forget the best time with you and your wine. We ordered and received wine from that visit and would love to have more. You are a treasure to us and we will buy more wine from you when possible. Please put me on your mailing list — my email is burchandy1@gmail.com. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality.
The reply
From Tenuta Torciano, with love
Ciao Andy, I'm very happy to receive your words, and very happy to send Tenuta Torciano wine to your home.
You can find our wines for sale on the new website www.torciano.com, where you can choose the wines and gourmet products you prefer. Prices and shipping costs are shown in USD, to make things easier for our American friends.
I remember you and your wife from the "GoAhead" wine tasting: it was a very memorable moment, and I would love to share another one like it.
I hope to meet you again soon in Tuscany. Call me whenever you organize another trip to Italy.
Ciao, Pierluigi
