Description
Shall I choose, or will you? the sommelier asked, and Pierre, who had been practising for weeks, opened the wine list with what he hoped looked like confidence. It was their tenth anniversary, the restaurant was the one where he had proposed, and he wanted everything to be perfect, right down to the way he held the glass and swirled it, as he had practised in the mirror.
He pointed to the third line from the top, and his wife laughed out loud, because it was the very wine they had drunk on that first night ten years before. This porcelain wine menu recalls those handsome restaurant lists, its layout painted by hand and closed with a secure clasp. It is a charming gift for a sommelier, a restaurateur, a couple celebrating a milestone dinner, or any friend who reads a wine list as eagerly as a favorite novel. Display it near the decanter, where it can recommend something lovely every evening.
