We are a group of Americans who rented a villa near Lucca. Simone came to our villa one evening and presented a wine tasting “The wines of the province of Lucca”. He came early to set everything up, bringing glassware for each of our 5 generous tastings. He began with some information about olive oil and offers cheese, bread and olive oil as snacks to enjoy during the tasting. Simone is most knowledgeable about these local wines and enjoys sharing in his excellent English. We began with a sparkling, moved to a white wine, next a rose, followed by 2 reds. All quite good. At the conclusion of our tasting Simone offered bottles for sale which we found to be at a very reasonable cost. We loved the ease of wine tasting at “home” without having to drive a distance to a winery. Highly recommend. Excellent communication, easy going yet professional presentation. Great value. Thank you!
