| When Life Hands You Lemons ... Make Limoncello !
For those of you who missed our last publication of a Limoncello recipe - here is another version - with a bonus story written with sentimental hokiness by my good friend Connie. :)
1 liter Vodka
8-10 medium to large firm, organic lemons
1 liter pure water
6/10 kilo (3 cups) sugar
Peel the lemons, taking only the yellow peel. The white pith will make it bitter. Infuse the lemons in the vodka in a sealed bottle or jar for at least 10 days.
After 10 days, pour the vodka and lemon peel through a strainer into a large bowl. Heat the water, add the sugar, and stir until sugar dissolves completely. Cool until just warm. Pour the sugar water over the peels, pressing the liquid out. Discard the peels. Pour the Limoncello into clean bottles. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
Salute!

If you saw the latest James Bond movie Quantum of Solace - our group was there in Siena at the Palio during its filming -
Here is Dan Craig (aka James Bond) waiving hello to us from the palace window in Piazza del Campo on August 16th, 2007.
If you look closely enough in the movie, you'll see our clients in their Villa Vita T-Shirts in the crowd!
Just kidding, we don't have T-Shirts.
But we have coasters! Did you receive your Villa Vita Coaster yet? Please email me to get yours while supplies last!

 Spotlight on Relais Falisco
I recently spent some time in Rome visiting various areas of Lazio. Without question, the highlight of my stay was at the beautiful Relais Falisco - a spectacular palace hotel in the ancient heart of Civita Castellana, about one hour north of Rome.
What made it even more appealing was the gracious hospitality of general manager Nicole Berruet. Her sincere warmth filled each room. Please visit this magical place in the heart of a town where time stands still. http://www.relaisfalisco.it/ Or call Villa Vita for more information. 866-590-8181
