The Curious Affair of the Long Haul Bottle.  Add/Read Comments

To be honest it had been so long its dispatch had slipped from memory. Good ol' Beau had posted a Long Island wine, a Macari Cabernet Franc, to these shores some months ago. It never arrived. A chance to sample 'a unique representative of Long Island vino' squandered by some unknown mishap. Today Beau reports that it arrived back at his pad, battered, ragged but sound. During the bottles travels it had actually reached the UK.

And then he drunk it; with some grilled Gruyere.
