I’ve been holding this bottle for a while but some nights you just need bubbles. Tonight’s the night - cool temperatures by the fire pit, full moon rising, a comfy sweater…a Rare night indeed. instagram.com/p/CnIvri-NMZs/…

First pizza of the new year - decidedly non-traditional with Purée of artichokes and garlic, burrata and shallots. A felicitous match with @champagne_paul_bara #newyearbubbles instagram.com/p/Cm9YW6xLnwZ/…

I’m cheering on both sides today - divided loyalties, at an Irish pub, @guinness in hand. Hard not to get excited at Kane vs Mbappé. #footballlife @ Mickey Byrnes Irish Pub instagram.com/p/Cl_tTfDL4gR/…

A wine made from an ancient Roman grape (vines never touched by phylloxera) and a stunning pizza with tuna tartare, red onion and stracciatelle. Awesome @casaledelgiglio @ O Munaciello Miami instagram.com/p/ClSPvBDtW44/…
