I'll try to blog as often as I can in between serving and ordering and tasting and cleaning. Blimey, it never stops. But for the latest info check us out on our new Twitter page.

The wine tasting was good fun. We had a group of guests who tried two whites and two reds then had to guess the country and primary grape of each, then offer some choice phrases to describe the nose and palate.
They also had to guess which cost £6.99 £16.99 or £23.99.
They were up against an Aussie Grant Burge chardonnay (£6.99) facing off against a Puligny Montrachet £23.99. The reds were a Grant Burge shiraz and a Cune Gran Reserva Rioja (£16.99).
Lots spotted the chardonnays - and which was the posh one. NO ONE got the Cune as a Rioja but it was very popular, even if someone thought it was a Merlot! The GB shiraz was either loved or loathed.
It was a fun night. I demonstrated how we wrap bottles as gifts before we had a Generation Style wrap off with five novice wrappers showing their skills.
And the final blind-tasting? Could they tell what the mystery chilled glass of wine was - mercifully they all clocked that it was a red.
