Second experience...Perdi Tempo!

Italian style inside

It is while enjoying our walk on the borders of the Garonne that we found this great place between the Place de la Bourse and Porte de Bourgogne: Perdi Tempo an Italian wine bar. 

We traveled hundreds of kilometers in just a couple steps. The inside colors remind Italy with grey and red colors such as the Italian speaking staff, very welcoming!

Once seated we discovered the wine list with many Italian wines of course, both red and white and even some rosés and proseccos! Soul sounds were guiding our experience.

Our experience:

1- Cantine Maschio, Prosecco (6€) sparkling white wine

Prosecco is an italian sparkling wine perfect for « apéritif ». This wine is incredibly balanced, fruity and not dry at all. To the mouth, toasted aromas as well as tints of butter are found.

2- Almenada, Tempranillo, Spain (3.5€) red

This Spanish red wine is balanced and in its young age. Never less it already shows an incredible potential. The attack is supple, the tannins are like velvet and thick in the mouth. Its black fruit, spice and pepper aromas are very enjoyable.

3-  Etchard Privado, Torrontes, Argentina (3.5€) white

An Argentine wine showing a beautiful gold color. The wine is structured with white flower aromas such as some honey. The attack is supple and acidity does not dominate. A great experience, very different from Bordeaux dry white wines. A must have!

A little bit hungry, we asked the owner to make us a mix of different tapas. A couple seconds latter muscles, shrimp, sardines, octopus and salt-cod fitter were pilling up on the table. One can tell the quality of these amazing tapas for roughly 6€ each!

To summ : A very nice wine list with many Italian and Spanish wines and a couple French ones! The average price is 23€ the bottle. A large list of cold and hot tapas is also proposed and will be the perfect match with one of these bottles. The average prices are 6€ for a plate.
