Firenze: Wine Town 2011

Hello again,

Just a short message: This weekend (September 24th-25th) Florence will become the 2011 Wine Town.

Just imagine that....

Being in the Italian heart of renaissance, with pleasant weather and a whole-day program full of city sightseeing and tasting wine.

To be honest – neither me, nor Silvester have a passion for wine. We prefer Chino Zero limonade (we should write about it – It is an amazing bitter-sweet drink!) or if we go out we often have Spritz (and Spanish people think their Sangria is better - Bullshit!)

So anyway we have no clue about wines . But we believe this event could be special for YOU. You can meet there thousands of interesting people from all over the world, discover new  wines collections and see the historical centre of Florence.

Here is the official website for further information.

Enjoy this event. Enjoy the wine.

And we are going to Billa to buy some non-alkoholic and sugar free Chino Zero....

Cheers!

4. The best GELATO in Badiani

Italian pizza, pasta, coffee...forget it. It is not worth your attention..

There is something diferent you MUST try: italian gelato (ice-cream).

Let us first give the word to nutritionists and doctors:

„Ice-cream is a caloric bomb full of sugar, whipped cream and emulsifiers. It is absolutely forbidden when dieting.“

Yeah, but I live close to Badiani, renowned as the best gelateria in Florence. What can I do about it? I try to look good and to be healthy and slim. And therefore I go to Badiani only for the smallest size of my favourite riso ice-cream (the smallest portion means something like 350 calories ONLY!)

Dont get me wrong, but the bigger portion (2 euros) is large enough to feel overeaten. And once you try the biggest size you will be overeaten with ice-cream for-ever. Believe me!

Badiani offers all kind of gelato: riso (try it!), vanilla, cookies, sesame, watermelon, tiramisu and hundreds of others.

They all taste very genuine. Like a real watermelon, like a real cookie, like a real tiramisu.

If you are not Italian you will definitely be suprised how good italian gelato tastes. But as I said – the biggest portions are only for the bravest of you! And as doctors said – it is forbidden when dieting.

Do not diet.
