Welcome back Wednesday

 

 

Good weather prompts an impromptu apéro in Montmartre among friends.

 

¡Rosé olé!

 

Rooftop apéro of chilled rosé, refried beans and tortilla chips with view of the Eiffel Tower.

 

Work break

 

 

A sidewalk terrace, a simple planche, a bottle of (Bandol) rosé on ice.

Sparkling rosé

  Closed cafés + sparkling spring weather = apéritifs at home.

Above: it's rosé season and shelves are being restocked as quickly as they're emptied
