The Wines:
Andrew Edmunds, dressed as usual in navy gilet, chequered shirt and jeans, sits at an outside table chatting away to someone or other. Is he talking food? Perhaps wine? Whatever the subject, he’s gossiping as if there’s no tomorrow. We’ve exchanged small talk over countless pleasurable visits to his eponymous restaurant. Having not entered these doors for an unforgivably long time, not to mention that Edmunds can be a bit of a grumpy old sod at times, I don’t interrupt. There’s always another time.
