    Ps for Anna's and Ammy's perusal, just back from a fab 5-hour luncheon here: http://www.pied-a-terre.co.uk/home thanks to a grateful client. I had the foie gras; the lamb; aged munster & camembert; the meat and cheese washed down with an unusual chilled Loire red from near Le Mans; and the crème brulée!
    "...the isle is full of noises,
    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

          No - a new one on me, Pineau d'Aunis - quite spicy like a Rhone. It was this one, called 'Rouge Gorge' (Robin Red-breast'): http://www.belliviere.com/en/rouge-gorge.htm

            A new one to me - and I thought I knew my French Varietals!

            Away from the Pineau and the PC for an hour or four so can someone take the P.

                Woo-hoo Caliban!

                I was taken there for lunch earlier in the year by kind friends for my 60th birthday and it is down on my list of All-Time Greats to be repeated when I win the Lottery

                  Such a great room too, even though quite small and tables reasonably close together: perfect acoustics, just a congenial hum, nothing intrusive But mainly: just scrummy (inc all the free bits and pieces that come during and after! )
