Count me as a fan.<br />I was especially interested in your travels to Istanbul (I was there in March).<br />Love your idea of &#39;pinking up&#39; the Bellini with raspberry. Hmm...be sure to suggest it to the bartender at the Gritti when next there! He is a handsome, talented fellow.Diane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-76053919844162626792009-06-16T10:18:27.032-07:002009-06-16T10:18:27.032-07:00I love bellinis and, failing having fresh peach juice because they&#39;re not in season yet, I added some raspberries. But there&#39;s nothing more refreshing and perfect than a Bellini!Pigtown*Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775512940294150252[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-53900408316330175282009-06-15T17:10:58.852-07:002009-06-15T17:10:58.852-07:00We were just discussing Harry&#39;s Bar over Prosecco cocktails the other night at a wonderful new Italian restaurant here in Sacramento: Hot Italian. Prosecco has become my beverage of choice lately! I had it with a splash of Blood Orange juice. Wonderful!katiedidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12682823255667624459[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-34291273329498720022009-06-11T23:05:14.053-07:002009-06-11T23:05:14.053-07:00White peaches when perfectly ripe are my favourites, more crisp and delicate than yellow ones. In summer as a very simple dessert I use them sliced, lightly sprinkled with sugar, covered with white wine and chilled.<br />Bellini is a great drink but as you said it must be done perfectly.<br />I wish I was in Torcello right now smelling the roses and sipping a Bellini.<br />Thanks for a great post on one of my favourite places in the world.Brillante Interiorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05829930791068801175[email protected]
