Fuzz Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Is that your prized bottle of Isla del Tesoro, Ken? I would be bloody well surprised if anyone managed to get to every single bottle! Magnums, a double magnum, and 14+ other bottles, plus spirits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treberty Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 My kind of lunch. No mention of the food menu? If it was half as good as the wine list, it was probably epic as well. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
