A Suffolk Eye

Vintage Wine Taster

Team member at today's wine quiz ( No - I don't know much about wine either: it was a fundraiser).

It was clear that he felt he had had his arm twisted and he started off the evening in a rather grumpy mood. But during the course of the evening he drank his way stoically through his own glass(es), and then (because I am on meds that conflict with alcohol) he drank his way through mine too. This cheered him up considerably. At the end of the evening he was fully compos but beaming and telling perfectly coherent and amusing stories about how much a RAF officer could drink in the war, before making the half a mile home under his own steam.

He's ninety years old.

Oh, and we won, by the way
