The Tenuta Torciano Wine School season in the US has been great so far, and we're already planning to extend it into summer and autumn. In late March Pierluigi Giachi flew back to America for an intense spring tour of meetings, tastings, visits to our customers, and cooking classes.
New York and New Jersey
Snow in Manhattan, warm welcomes everywhere
Together with his staff, Pierluigi joined some of his team in New York and Philadelphia for a week full of events and meetings. Despite heavy snowfall on the East Coast, the team ran several exclusive private wine tastings and important business meetings in Manhattan, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The tour began in a snow-covered Manhattan and continued on to New Jersey. A fun, interesting wine tasting was held at our friends Larry and Patrick's place in NYC, where Larry has even built a private cellar whose door is styled after our wooden door in Tuscany, with paintings of San Gimignano and many of our wines. Seeing our wine lovers so fond of the Tenuta Torciano brand that they display it in their own homes is a great honor for us.
Before heading to Pennsylvania, we closed the New York leg of the tour at the North Jersey Country Club with Lisa and Angela.
Philadelphia: a cooking class and a birthday to remember
In Philadelphia we spent time with our friend Eric, where we ran a cooking class with his family, cooking our traditional Lasagna together. The same day, after the wine tasting school and the lasagna, we visited David's house, still in Philadelphia, then Suzan's place in Atlantic City, celebrating her husband's birthday together with the wine school.
Our Pennsylvania tour ended at Paul's, just before heading home to San Gimignano.
"It was another great experience for our wine school in America. All our Torciano wine lovers, who we truly consider our friends first and foremost, welcomed us warmly, opening their homes, offices, clubs and hearts to spend a magical, unforgettable moment with us and our wines. Thanks to all our precious friends in the United States who took part in our Wine School, and to everyone planning to join in the future. It's a real pleasure for my family, my staff and me to walk into your homes and bring a piece of Italy through our wines and oils. Each time it's a thrill and a great emotion to lead a wine lesson and share our passion for wine and Italy with you. See you soon."
