Leaving the shadows

Hi to all,

I was lurking this group from quite a time. It's a great place to learn, i regret my news server stored ony the latest 500 message, for olders one i use Google groups, effective but not so "easy to use" . My name is Giovanni and i'm Italian, so you will have to forget the many errors you will find in my messages. I finally made this post to thanks you all for all the knowledge you share in this group.

Well, it's tiume to go, before i made too much mistakes for one post :)

Ciao a tutti

Giovanni

Giovanni,

Your English is totally understandable. Please don't worry about that.

And welcome! What are you drinking these days? Apart from that wonderful Italian wine, I mean? ;)

I'm from Abruzzo, if you find Castilenti on a map server you will find my home. It's a small rural village in the hills between the adriatic sea and the "Gran Sasso" mountain, if you are too lazy (as i am sometime :) but remember where Rome is located, well i'm exactly opposite Rome, on the east coast of Italy.

Since a few time ago, when i discovered it would be better to me not to drink coffe anymore, i begun to discover the world of teas. My first one was a Twinings gunpowder" from the local superstore. Then i begun to search through the net (since on my surroundings the is no "chinatown" or teashops i must relay on online shops) for more quality and choice (postal fees and expedition time in the Euro areas are the same, so i can order from abroad whitout problems). I currently have green teas from "Il signore del te" and "Mariare Freres" (french) and a few week ago arrived my long awaited parcel from Jing shop with a wide samples of oolongs, blacks and puerh ( you pages on this subject are impressive not to mention you own collection :)

Usually i drink a yunnan gold in the morning, a green teas at work and puerh or oolong in the evening. My hard disk have moved to another level of existence, "pace all'anima sua" or rest in peace as you would say :), so since i'm a bit tired from work (some would say lazy ;) i'll post the different kind when i can "cut and copy" .... i hope my data would recoverable !!.

For the wine, this year will be a year to remember for the italian wine, so say the expert and so can I. This very day, San Martino's day, it's the day when traditionally people fist taste the new wine (and eat chestnuts), and i too this evening first drinked my wine (like many others i work at office but own a small vineyard) and it's a very good one.

Saluti
