“the blush on the thigh of an aroused nymph.”

I guess you’re never too old to dream.

Ha-ha, Benito, though that sounds more like Wycherley than Shakespeare. How about The Embarrassed Strumpet, if we want to continue on those lines?

One of my favorite champagnes, for some reason not seen v. often, is Perrier-Jouet’s Blason de France Rose, whose color the national rep, many years ago, described to me as “the blush on the thigh of an aroused nymph.” I think about that hue frequently.

In refrence to the hue and its Gallic main ingredient you could always steal from Frog’s Leap and call it La Grenouille Rouganté–The Blushing Frog.

Or if you want to be naughty in a Shakespearean way, go for The Bespank’d Rump.

Marie, thanks, that’s wonderful…. Lovely Lady for a lovely drink and for LL!

It should be pretty widely distributed. I mean, if you can get it in Memphis …

That’s a good name, Marie. It’s pink, that’s why.

And it sounds really great for summer.

I’d call it the Lovely Lady. For obvious reasons.

Is Lorina in wide distribution? It sounds like something I want to hunt down for this summer.
