Aha!

The famous or infamous Harry's Bar in Venice has a connection with out tasting this Saturday and when we started thinking about it, well, it is pretty neat (but then again we are somewhat of an odd lot here so what is neat to us.....well you get the idea). 

One our our patrons got all gushy about our Prosecco tasting this Saturday (3-6pm 132 Front St. in Greenport) and she did so on behalf of the terrific color - the white peach nectar color mixed with just a smidgen of raspberry juice to give it the glow.  She recounted that some years ago when she went to Venice with her mother, the elder dragged her to Harry's Bar and there she had her first Bellini - we might add an official IBA (International Bartenders Association) drink.  Wait wait wait...she had more to tell us...Cirpriani, the founder of Harry's and the inventor of the drink, named it Bellini after the early renaissance Venetian painter.  We are pretty sure that the pink in the drink is kinda close to the pink in the painting but that is just us.  But since artists don't really like to think in "pink" we are going to call it white peach blush.

We thought that since this is a big deal weekend in the Christian church and the Bellini's more famous works were religious depictions, what could be more fitting.  Anyway, thanks to our friend who knew so much and to Prosecco and Harry's Bar in Venice. 

Bottoms up.
