I do not yet have a picture to upload (left cable in Italy!) to show the smiling faces, but I can assure we were smiling!!!

Despite the fact that we were actually 13 on the table (major bad luck for Italians), but I realized it only half way through the dinner (so I didn’t panic, and anyway the table was actually set for 14, so it was ok!), the night went actually very well!!!

We tasted 5 cheeses form the San Lorenzo selection:

- Bagoss, matched with Italian Chestnut Honey

- Castelmagno, with Italian Forest Honey

- Bra duro, with Italian Linden Honey

- Parmigiano Reggiano Extra aged 36 months, with Italian Acacia Honey

- Testun al Barolo, by itself, as it’s matured in wine and it impossible to match it!

The wines (as usually a great hit!!!):

Franciacorta d.o.c., brut millesimato 2003

Gavi di Gavi d.o.c.g. 2006

Barbera del Monferrato vivace d.o.c. 2006

Nebbiolo d’Alba d.o.c. 2005

Moscato d’Asti d.o.c.g. 2006

And of course all this wouldn’t be possible without the people that gently came to our night!

Many thanks to Francesca, Mariel, Victor, Antonio, Riccardo (his impressions), Annemarie (her impressions), Ben, Howard, Chris (his impressions), Ben, Virginie and Armelle! You are our agent out there: go and spread the voice that our cheese and wine (and the rest of our products!) are the best you can find!!!

Here the whole set of pictures!

Do you want to come to next tasting night? Of course! So get an invite!

We at San Lorenzo would love to be able to visit people’s homes and promote our products: I’m pretty sure we would place quite a few orders. But how?

Today, while thinking how good (and scarcely known) our wines [GB] are, I had a brainwave: a Personal Chef’s job and passion (what’s a Personal Chef?) is to enter people’s homes to do the cooking. I’d like to offer all Personal Chefs in Europe a deal: how about we offer the wine you serve with the dinners you prepare for your customers? For free. Yes. For free. You just have to write to me at this address, We’ll study the menu and discuss the best wines to be served and we’ll ship them to you.

What’s in it for us? Well, we know our wines are good, so I would expect you to promote them, telling your customers where they can be ordered, together will all our other products (which are just as good, you know). It’s a good deal, isn’t it?

[P.S. Sure, if you prefer another product instead of wine, such as our excellent extra virgin olive oil, or parmesan, or pasta, or any other special ingredient, well… we can fix it, don’t you think so?]
