I don't why I have picked on you. I am actually in a good mood today - working from home sat on my sofa with my 4 cats around me and loads of films to watch.

Correct. I am quite happy with this today though.
Partly as I have leftover beef bourginion and chocolate cheesecake to eat.

I had the most incredible bottle of wine I've had in years, last night.
I'll let you know what it was when I have internet at home as I kept the bottle. My sister and brother-in-law gave it to me - he works in the wine trade and has a personal stash of at least 50k's worth of wine, so I knew it'd be good - but not as good as it was.

I was hopping from one foot to the other with joy after each sip. I am barely exaggerating.

I had some fucking fabulous port the other weekend
I have no idea what it is because it was a present bought for a friend who I was staying with and it had been decanted a while ago.

Expensive port is one of th ebest drinks ever.
I have yet to get into white ports - maybe that is my project for this winter.

it was the best port I've ever had by a significant margin
it was a present to my friends from some army pal of theirs who is in the sort of circles where very fine port is drunk often

I would like a glass of vintage port RIGHT NOW.

I couldn't quite believe my taste buds

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 12 Oct 2010, 10:38, Reply)

I am tempted to have a glass as I am working from home, but even a pisshead like me thinks this is a bad idea.

It is only 10:45 so you have to have sherry instead.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 12 Oct 2010, 10:46, Reply)

Or maybe a Bombay Sapphire with a splash of tonic?

I will take you to Gordon's Wine Bar on Villiers St - they have some excellent white port on draft.

I was told about this place by an acquaintance who's an old-school financial journalist (I think)
... whose effusive praise of this place was only overshadowed by his anecdotes involving three-martini lunches and consequent shenanigans.

It sounds like the sort of place I need to visit, especially since I can probably walk there from the office in about 20 minutes ...

You'd love it.
It had 'Pot Noodle' undertones, with a 'sammich' finish.

Quite delightful.

red or white?

Red, an Argentine blend of quite staggering quality.
