Medio y Medio

Uruguay

Half and half: medio y medio — the Montevideo café classic of half dry white wine and half sparkling wine, invented (or perfected) at the Roldós bar in the Mercado del Puerto — the asado's aperitif. Origins: Roldós (founded 1886) claims the mix; the port market's grill houses made it ritual.
