I thought this was a cool little chart!
Hello!
Eating well. And have been drinking some amazing wine lately. Still in Bourgogne, and loving every minute. I am falling in love with a very special man, and Spring is really bringing on some warm temperatures.
Late evenings, lite showers, long sunsets, and new beginnings.
Merci de Printemps! Bises!
L'apero?! He likes Pastis.....I like local liquers! But there seems to be something for everyone!
According to Wiki:
An apéritif is an alcoholic beverage usually served before a meal to stimulate the
appetite, and is therefore usually dry rather than sweet. Common choices for an apéritif are
vermouth;
champagne;
pastis;
gin;
rakı;
fino,
amontillado or other styles of dry
sherry (but not usually cream sherry, which is very sweet and rich); and any still, dry, light white wine.
"Apéritif" is a French word derived from the Latin verb aperire, which means "to open." The French slang word for "apéritif" is "apéro." Although in France an "apéro" is also food eaten in the late afternoon/early evening.
Romance with this one.....I think I will keep him! Loves l'apero and it's always a fun break!
