mistletoe and whine
Now that I'm back to work and some of our members are a bit p'ed off** I don't have any time to blog as I'm marking like crazy internally and externally, but I couldn't not tell you about this which I read in the Guardian's Wrap this morning:
MISTLETOE AND WHINE
Gordon Ramsay is back in the papers - but this time, he's not the one doing the swearing. The chef tricked Sir Cliff Richard into criticising one of his own wines at a blind tasting for a Channel 4 show. Sir Cliff was not amused, using a phrase the Wrap will not repeat in a filtered email.
However, we can report the singer's verdict on a bottle of Portuguese red from his vineyard, Vida Nova. 'That's rubbish. I wouldn't pay for that, it's tainted, it's insipid. It tastes like vinaigrette. I'd never buy that.'
Ramsay is now using Vida Nova as vinaigrette at his restaurant at Claridge's, where he claims it 'goes down tremendously well with the tuna'.
B-)
**I can see their point since we've just accepted a deal worse than those breakers away at Ulster got and the same as the one that was out of the question a week ago, but I think they're being a bit hard on our leadership. Personally, I'd have had the stomach to carry on a bit longer, though.
