Wine, Wine, Wine and a Tiny Bit of Champagne

 

One of my favorite things to photograph is a glass of red wine.  With summer approaching, most others will turn to white or rosé but I'll be sticking to my red...even more likely my almost black Cahors. I love the way the sun reflects through it, and last week I discovered just how pretty it looked with the sunshine reflecting through my red parasol...turning everything very pink.  I'm true to my red regardless of type of food or season.  What about you?

Take a look at the two photos on the left.  Do you recognize anything? I brought our bottle discovery in yesterday to get it cleaned up and put with the rest of the souvenirs of these times.  Hot water, soap and bleach worked very hard to get whatever had been growing inside out and remove the slimy stuff from the outside that clouded everything.  And, it isn't a wine bottle...it's a champagne bottle who turns out to be even better for making these candle/bottle/lampshade numbers.  The lip is wider and thicker than a wine bottle, so it cradles the shade nicely and doesn't tilt.  So, take your pick...wine...champagne-which would you choose to light up your life?

I am not sure which I would choose.. judging by your photos I think I might go with what your having :-)

Birds of a feather...huh, Evelyn?

I bet you can guess that my choice is a nice glass of luscious Cahors...summer or winter! I have been known, however, to sip a slightly sweet Riesling on a hot,humid summer day.
