Looking at the bar bill which I have in my hand the Barolo is called Le Albe 2005 - nothing on the CT site though.

My hangover will not go away.

Status: offline 		it was good to meet Eric again and the 2 new recruits, I'm glad I wasn't there for long with that list of bruisers, after a burgundy tasting it would have been a bit too brutal, seeing wines over 16% gives me a hangover before I even drink them...

The espresso martinis seemed like a good idea at the time although not this morning. I have just emerged from a slightly fraught day feeling a good deal better than I deserve to.

Have spent most of the day borderline comatose having not got to bed until nearly 4am then up for breakfast at 8am this morning. Fortuna was kind though so we basically drank the Margaux for free!

Will pop up some TNs when I have the energy

Yes, a very kind blackjack dealer picked up the tab for the Margaux (and half the Mouton!)

Yes, all of the fellows easily made up for my faint hint of remaining sobriety.
