Our monthly takeaway Sunday lunch from the Lathkil Hotel today. Roast pork with perfect crackling. Delicious.
However there was a bonus. When I dropped my neighbours Sunday Times off this morning, yes I've become a lockdown paperboy, she says " I opened a nice bottle of red wine last night and only had a small glass but am going to Whitby later and was going to throw it away. Would you like it?" (She cares for her mother on a rota basis with her sister).
I'm not a wine drinker but my wife likes a glass so I took it.
After my run the lunch arrived and we both had a glass. Even I thought it was quite nice. After lunch my wife asked me to find out on google where we could get a bottle of the wine from as she really enjoyed it.
The cheapest place I could find, where it was on offer, was £76 a bottle. I nearly fell off my stool.
I've never knowingly drunk anything as expensive in my life, but I'm sure there are some forumites for whom this type of quaffing is a regular occurrence, especially Bianchi riders
