Re: De Gondi à Paris (none / 0)

Oops, "nobody".

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.

Re: plonk :-) (4.00 / 2)

I'll have to wait til after work. I'm not a snob on wine matters. It just isn't the sort of vital category in which I would bother to show off my ignorance. My liver is very much a "snob" as it will unfailingly express his opinion the day after.

I have learned to obey him and anticipate his humours. Fortunately he has better taste than my gullet.

"bother to show off my ignorance"

Oh come on, it's not an exam in social acceptability :-)

My liver doesn't seem to be complaining after my little celebration last night - even drinking the stuff offered in a few bars - though I did wake up in the early hours. But I did a bit more reading of "Conscience of a Liberal" - even if I don't have the conscience of a wine connoisseur :-)
