It’s that time of year…

When the weather was like this in London, pink wine was everywhere. A bit strange for me at first — remember I’m from Long Island, where white zinfandel is served by the gallon — but on a day like today, it all makes sense. Even though I’m not in London anymore.

The wine? A vinho verde rose from Casal Garcia in Portugal. The place? Avec, on Randolph Street in Chicago.

Hope it’s 5 o’clock where you are. Cheers!
