With sunny skies and temperatures in the upper 60’s, I decided to book a half day trip to Chianti with a driver I have been introduced to. My friend, Anita, and I took Chia with us and started our tour in Greve.

There is a famous macelleria (butcher’s shop) in Greve, where we bought some prosciutto and cheese. The stuffed wild boar in front scared Chia! We drove on to a very small village with beautiful vistas, and then to a winery for lunch and wine tasting. Back in Florence, we have been doing lots of jewelry shopping with clients. Friday Chia and I have been invited to a dinner at the cooking school nearby. Looking forward to their handmade ravioli!
