[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re going there, you might as well get the wines they suggest. They probably won’t be the cheapest or the most expensive, but I’d expect them to be a decent match. You’ll have to determine your own capacity, though. No sense in paying all that money and getting sick or hungry over.

PS:  I haven’t looked it up but the use of the word “pour” as a noun sounds both ungrammatical and affected. I think “portion” is a better word. [/quote]

NP. You clearly aren't in the restaurant industry, and have little experience with fine dining and fine wines.[/quote]

Yeah, the restaurant industry doesn’t set grammar rules. If it did, we’d all pronounce the “l” in “salmon.”

And I promise that my experience of “fine dining” beggars yours.

“Nouning” verbs may be fashionable, but that doesn’t make it correct. [/quote]

The English language is so adaptable that even the “rules” people now say that there are no longer any rules.  Go work on Latin if you need fixed standards.

WRT Inn at LW, we have a great cellar and tell them what we are bringing beforehand.  Usually a white burgundy, a red burgundy or great US Pinot, a cab or Bordeaux and then a half of Dyquem.  (Always go with 4 or more).  Probably owe them a wine night though.  [/quote]
