wine customs...

some customs
can be comfort zones
we can't really explain
red wine for my winter
white for summer#tanka #MayTanka #NaTankaMo #5lines pic.twitter.com/oQ6VF4QHDW

The glass pictured above was taken at Portsea Hotel - dating back to 1876. The hotel is probably one of the oldest surviving businesses on my peninsula. The hotel overlooks Port Phillip Bay, so it offers indoor - including upstairs - and outdoor dining.

One day I may return there and enjoy the ambience of the grand old lady again...but not yet...

And yes...I know the image is not depicting a wine glass...I cheated, because I just like the hotel's insignia on the glass - which happens to be white...as is the summer 'liquid' inside...
