Wishful Wednesday

 With travel restrictions still in place last night's apéro was an attempt to re-create the gezelligheid (coziness) of an Amsterdam "brown bar."

This delightful small wine bar, a Montmartre mainstay now closed, was one of our favorite nighttime neighborhood ports of call for years. Fingers crossed it won't become another Covid casualty, as many have in Paris. To be continued.... [Update: it won't re-open. Thank you Wuhan carelessness]

Unsurpassed wine selection; all wines from Burgundy
