Hot Tip

Here is a hot tip which I learnt at the expense of $20.

Never buy wine by the glass from a restaurant that has been closed over a long weekend.  This extends through to restaurants that have been closed Mon-Wed....

If you think about it, you can understand why.  Don't make a big deal of it, but when you order you should ask if it is a new bottle.

2 crappy glasses of wine for $20 will learn you good!
