Katy and I went to have dinner at Gaucho, an Argentinian steak house. When he wine list come over, I knew I wanted a Malbec. Unfortunately, they had 250 of them. Pro tip when you’re overwhelmed by a wine list: don’t be afraid to ask for advice. I told the lovely wine lady that we wanted something full bodied, spicy but not too tannic within a given price range. Lo and behold, she came back with a few sampler glasses and we ended up with a perfectly lovely bottle of wine (our third for the evening, but that’s another story). Too many people either go for the extremes (cheapest, or most expensive if they want to impress –\u00a0 which is a losing proposition when there are bottles for several hundreds of pounds on th menu) or stick to names\/vintages they know. This way, you can get something you like, for a reasonable price, <\/p>\n

Oh look,\u00a0 it’s Ganesh. Oh,\u00a0 hello wall.\u00a0Oh, look,\u00a0 bright lights. <\/p>\n

Look. This is me pretending to be sober. Am I pulling it off? Me: No. <\/p>\n

In Fortnum & Mason : it’s a shame that they don’t have live lobsters anymore. I should give them a piece of my mind. <\/p>\n

Look! It’s vodka! Made from apples! We must get some!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
