That Long, Long Awaited Surprise

I have been a long time waiting, as I know you have been. No, I’m not talking about the release of the 2022 Beaujolais, nor Christmas morning. Although that was pretty delightful. For the first time in two years I was with four young persons.

I’m thinking of the release of the 2021  World’s 50 Best Bars

https://www.worlds50bestbars.com/list/1-50

Lucky girl, that girl of mine. She has journeyed with me - by my count THREE! However, If you go back to two or three of the last “World’s  50”, she can add three more of the best bars she’s been to with me on these excursions!

So, for those of you who are lucky enough to live in Athens, London, Tokyo, Moscow, Milan or even New Delhi – you have the opportunity to visit one of these spectacular World’s 50 Best

So, I hope that you’ll take the time to have a sip of your Perrier, thanking them for their sponsorship of this renowned list that add so much goodness to our lives, and review the World’s 50. Who knows what might be in store for us in the next 12 months. Thinking positive - as I look forward to a potential trip to Great Britain. You may be traveling to one of the cities and find yourself walking down a narrow dimly lit, misty street to Pari’ Little Red Door. Or to Baba au Rum in Central Athens. 

However, now that I think of it - you know you can find your own little best bars in your travels. Don’t just rely on this list, but reach out to friends, a concierge, or Heaven forbid, The Google, and search for your own what’s the best bars in Belfast or Dublin Town. Or what about that visit to Quebec City ? Or New Orleans. You’ll find some pretty spectacular places that will bring you lighthearted joy.


Happy Boxing Day.
