QUOTE OF THE WEEK 
"As for wine waiters, they should be politely ignored. The kind who point to a wine that costs more than all the food you are buying, while saying "this would be perfect with your meal" is just a salesman. Instead insist on the house wine."
Guardian columnist and Spectator wine critic Simon Hoggart upsets sommeliers everywhere
