Early evening retsina. Not a lot of info on the label but it’s marked 1895 on the crown cap so I guess it’s an established winery.

A female narrator, M, invites a famous painter, L, to use her guesthouse on the English coast marshlands where she lives with her family. It is inspired by Mabel Dodge Luhan’s 1932 memoir Lorenzo in Taos, about the writer D. H. Lawrence’s early 1920s sojourn in Taos, New Mexico.
