Spittoon: We Spit So You Can Swallow
Ten of us sampled each of the wines in turn; each with a different course, twittering as we did so. Later, once the Americans sat down to their meal and tasting, we twittered about the wines. Finally collapsed to bed about 2AM.

not hugely impressed with the PB, vastly better with food – the onion tart was beautiful – the wines acidity cut thru the egg perfectly

Compliments to the chef! The Scallops looked particularly well-prepared, and based on the tweets, were a big hit. Wish I were there.
Ooooh, I do love that top photo!
So do I Jeanne! Great aint it! A lucky shot really as with most of my best pictures it is just a point and click without much thought. That might sound a bit smug and all but its true!
