Dragon's Hollow Wine

I have been re-connecting with many old friends and acquaintances via Facebook this summer. A few weeks ago, I met up with some old work friends at a restaurant out in Devon.

The food was quite good - French-Thai - and the owner was kind enough to let us chat the entire night away at one of his tables. The owner looks an awful lot like Jackie Chan, so I suppose I was bound to like him, anyhow.

As for whether the Chinese have made a good Chardonnay? I couldn't tell you. Haven't uncorked it yet. But I imagine it's probably full of all sorts of carcinogens and other nasty chemicals, which I am certain will make it all the yummier!

Cheers!
