Flashback Friday

 Nights of wine and roses.

🌹🌹🌹 

 

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  

MILORD

Cochon rouge. Vin rouge. Zero gravity. Living the dream.
