Compliments from Australia |
|
| |
Good Evening Doctor,
Thank you so much for such an enjoyable afternoon at your villa today.
My wife and I are genuine lovers of fine wine and without doubt your Tiratari and Psyco are the best wines we've enjoyed so far on this trip to Italy. They are a testimony to your passion and commitment to quality at all stages of the wine production. Congratulations and best of luck on May 17th at the London wine show.
And speaking as one who is plagued by high sulphite wines, thank you for making your wines in a way that makes them far more enjoyable....much appreciated!
as promised, next week we will proudly share your 2007 Tiratari with our New Zealand friends in Scotland and we look forward to receiving our shipment in due course.
Your wines have certainly earned their place in our current 2500 bottle collection.
We hope to see you in Tasmania, Australia some time soon.
Sincerely,
Peter Mancell |
