Wine



What though youth gave love and roses, Age still leaves us friends and wine.

That's our wine bar! We rent an apartment around the corner on Calle Nani.

We also decided on the one on the San Trovaso Canal, a bit further on from the Squero, on the other side - fondamenta Nani - seen from the ponte.

Are we right?

Alexa said...

Andante -- yes, you are right. And this is also my wine bar—for several decades! I was sorry to hear that the friendly proprietor Lino passed away last year.

Will track this down the next time I'm in Venice. Looks wonderful.

Alexa;
I am truly sorry to hear about Lino. I usually bought grappa to take home there because he was such a courtly salesman; he'd bring samples of several of their best and let you decide from that. I will miss him.
