很相信緣份，與這意大利拍擋的奇妙相遇，便開啟了我人生的新一頁。
三年前對 Italian wine 是一無所知，什麼 Barolo、Barberesco、Barbera、 Nebbiolo grape？Cortese、Brachetto、Moscato？ What are these？？？ 
多得他啟蒙了我，教導我，還寄來很多不同的意大利酒給我品試，還有參考資料，耐性地有問必答，令我眼界放寬了，選擇多了。確實對我在享受美酒的人生旅途中增值不少。
他家族不是做釀酒生意，但也是飲酒世家，而且自己也擁有一個小小的葡萄園及密室酒窖，釀製及保存一些非賣佳釀，只供自己享用。
很幸運自己認識了他，認識了意大利葡萄酒，認識了這令人心曠神怡及令人迷惑的瓊汁玉露！真幸福！

回覆刪除Hi Maria, 身邊的酒友都是年年跟W. Kwok去法國旅行, 飲紅酒+香檳; 唯何你會去意大利, 飲意大利酒???
Hi JMP: This is the reason on how I started involving in Italian wine business. Sounds romatic ?
But remember, this is only my hobby, not my core business, though I really do enjoy doing it.
真是.....等到頸都長......
回覆刪除簡潔但內容豐富, 資料清晰, 謝!
雖然酒不是你的core business, 但可以寓工作於娛樂 (& vice versa), 不是羨煞幾多人了.
下次應該有意大利之行的分享啩?? 否則, 條頸要再加長....
短短百餘字, 圖文並茂, 又真是一份令人羨慕的副業, 亦是一段浪漫的情緣呢 !

回覆刪除Hello Maria hahaha my name is actually Maria too, so it sounds like I am saying hi to myself. Anyway I just saw your blog about wine and in fact I have been searching on the internet about wine tour in Italy (tuscany) area, so wonder if you could give us/ suggest us any recommendation or point us to the right direction. The only issue is we are going to be around Gerve / chanti area only on the Sunday then we will driving down to Rome. So Sunday seems to be our only choice for a wine tour. Anyway hope to speak to you soon and thanks! Kind regards Maria
回覆刪除Thank you, and I shall enjoy as much as I can in Italy ^.^. Keep it up with your blog writing, they are good!! Maria
