I am sorry to have to ask this way, but I can't find what I am looking for using either search engines.
A couple of weeks ago, on the outside, someone ,(Dean?) mentioned wine tasting and eating nibbles at an Antinori botega in Florence. That is if my memory serves me correctly. (It just might not). Our friends will be in Florence just before Easter and I thought she and her husband and their neice would love to go there. It sounded terrific when I read it here.
If you were the writer or you know where I can find the name and address of said place, could you let me know?
Grazie e ciao, W

The Antinori family, one of Florence's oldest wine-making dynasties, has a fabulous restaurant in the family villa in central Florence. It features their wines in a simple yet elegant location. The service is excellent and has always been a favorite for a relaxed meal. Don't miss the fascinating inner courtyard display of miniatures of the Antinori properties. They have just opened the Osteria di Passignano at the winery at Badia a Passignano, in the village of Tavarnelle. Again, it's elegant but not fussy. I'll try it soon. Watch for my review

Thank you Robert and Kate, yes, Cantinetta Antinori is the place I wanted to tell Lillian about. I appreciate both of your responses. And Kate, Osteria di Passignano is marvelous. We ate there in October and had the best meal of our 22 day trip. We will be going back this coming Oct. and it just happens to be our 20th wedding anniversary the day we plan on going. What a place to celebrate. I wrote about it, rather extensively, in my trip report Italy 2003.
Again thank you for the info. CinCin, W
