Fate is great: flirtations with pink champagne

"Fate is Great"


As fate would have it, the man who told me the story about the Romeo y Julieta Cuban cigars (previous post) was from Verona.

As we stood beside a display of Champagne, I asked him which was his favourite Champagne.

"Billecart-Salmon".

"Me too! (FATE!) I love the Billecart-Salmon Rosé."

"You must drink a lot of pink champagne..."

Why (insecurely checking my lipstick)??

And he moved very close and said, "Because your lips are so pink."

Ah!

And how does this star-crossed tale end?

Let's just say, as they do in Romeo and Juliet, that I was the very pink of courtesy.

Of course.
