Bellini anyone?

Anyone care to know the history of the Bellini, and to have some with brunch?

Read this from Andrea Strong of The Strong Buzz:
Saturday: Bottomless Bellinis for Brunch The union of white peach puree and Prosecco dates back 1948 at Harry’s Bar in Venice where Guiseppe Cipriani created the Bellini, in honor of Venetian artist Jacopo Bellini, who was renowned for his paintings of religious figures bathed in a golden glow. Sixty years later, the anniversary of this now classic brunch cocktail is being honored at the W New York Court with a $35 three-course, all-you-can-drink Bellini Brunch in partnership with Martini & Rossi. Icon’s Martini & Rossi Bellini Brunch is served Saturdays and Sundays from 10am -1pm at Icon, located at the W New York – The Court, 130 East 39th Street at Lexington Ave, 212-253-8888.
