Last October and November were a busy, creative and exciting time. After all "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower" - Albert Camus
During this period we had great fun !
We fuelled ourselves on fine wines at the prestigious Cellier Wine Fair in Athens:
We built a stand in Berlin:

On the way back we stopped in Milan. We tried a cocktail named Richard Nixon, a cocktail named 27th of June and a cocktail named Flight to Mexico all in Milan (!). No one can say Italians don't think of cool cocktail names
