It is probably the place to go, right now in New York. It is a big, beautiful, elegant, 2 Michelin’s stars restaurant, for up to 500-600 people!
One of the first things I’ve realized, talking with the Italian chefs, is that they are amazed by the amount of people that all these New York […]

Maccioni’s family wanted to recreate the success of Le Cirque in a different restaurant, with the same touch of Sirio’s style but more informal. Marco and Mauro, Sirio’s sons, managed to succed the task by creating the Osteria del Circo.
I was there last night, quite early, and I was surprised to see how the beautiful […]

What can be said about Sirio Maccioni’s famous restaurant that it has not been said yet? We could say that all US Presidents have been here at least once, or that this is Andrea Bocelli’s favorite restaurant when he’s in New York.
I just want to say that the place is fantastic. It is exactly how […]

Tony May’s San Domenico is an institution. There are new restaurants coming up proposing a different  Italian cuisine, following more modern and fresh approach, with a different design and probably sometimes more success in the short term, but San Domenico doesn’t look like it’s near to abdicate its role of main ambassador of Italian style […]

Just arrived in Manhattan. Moving 30 people all together in never easy, but all went reasonably well in the end.
We got to the Hotel (Jolly Hotel Madison Towers, which I find quite good, the largest rooms in Manhattan for the money, plus bilingual ita-eng staff) at 7,30 PM and we were already on a taxi […]

I believe in blogs.
This blog has been good for me. It has helped me a lot to communicate what I do at the winery, what I think aboout the wine business, and above all, to meet a lot of interesting people that share the same passion: wine & food.
Now that I’ve organised this event in […]

Ho appena finito di aggiornare il nostro sito ufficiale Maremma Wine & Food.
Ci trovate tutto il materiale della manifestazione della Maremma a New York, dal 5 al 9 novembre, con tutti i links dei partecipanti, i comunicati stampa, le mappe, il calendario, i numeri di telefono e i links per prenotare online (con opentable).
Per chi […]

E’ il primo passaggio della promozione della Maremma a New York. E lo faremo qui (vedi foto), al Terme di Saturnia Spa & Golf Resort, a due passi dal paese di Saturnia, in Maremma.
Chi ci sarà e cosa fara’:

Mentre mi fa piacere che il popolare sito Winenews abbia riportato ampiamente a proposito di Tuscany’s Maremma Wine & Food, l’evento in USA con cui vi sto tartassando da un paio di mesi, c’e’ qualcosa che non torna.
L’articolo, a firma di Franco Pallini il cui incipit e’ “che sia l’uovo di Colombo?” , riporta con […]

Finalmente ci siamo, si comincia a respirare un pò di aria nuova in Maremma.
E’ da quasi un anno che ci stiamo lavorando, senza nessun appoggio pubblico, e oramai possiamo dire che una piccola svolta nella comunicazione e promozione del territorio è stata fatta.
22, tra cantine, frantoi, ristoranti e hotel, fanno gruppo e si presentano sulla […]

    Bloggers never die…

    …they just have three children at home during the school holidays. Anyway, here we are back again after this enforced sabbatical, at the European Wine Bloggers Conference . This is really interesting stuff, not least for me who, up until fairly recently, held a robustly ”blog humbug” attitude to this medium. What’s interesting is the […]
