I agree! I have recently found that eating olives whilst having a really nice glass of wine is the best combination.

I love this! What an adorable little story! Going to Venice next summer and now I can order wine properly, so thanks for that!

Brilliant idea for a post ! What a lovely story behind the “Shade of wine” 🙂 Now, I need to find my own wine shade.

I love the expression, I wonder if other areas use this as well or if it’s exclusive to Venice?

I never knew that, but it makes so much sense doesn’t it when you hear the story.
