- Robin had a craving for waffles last night. Since it's bad luck to ignore a pregnant woman's craving we have them for dinner tonight. And if we're having breakfast for dinner, we may as well go all the way... |

- Decrepitude and a general European affectation are the prime constituents of a trendy bar, so my prediction for next season's hot spot is -- wait for it -- "Pissoir." |

- They've been de-corked, sampled and declared good. Now 39 bottles of wine belonging to former newsreader John Hawkesby are up for grabs and could fetch between $21,000 and $24,000 at auction. |

- Is champagne (the real stuff, from the most famous French wine region of all) worth its high price? At this year's Liquorland Top 100 International Wine Com-petition, Lanson Black Label NV (non-vintage) scored a bronze medal - as did Queen Adelaide Brut. The champagne costs about $60; the Aussie bubbly less than $10. |

- In these "interesting times", if you are thinking of going to the Mediterranean for a Peter Mayle-like summer sojourn, you might like to consider a safer and cheaper alternative such as the Fleurieu Peninsula. "But," you cry, "what about the olive groves, the vineyards, the fine food, the lazy, warm Mediterranean nights, the friendly locals, the discovery of gourmet wonders at the local markets, the delicious local pizzas, the fresh fish served with glorious salads and lots of fine wines, crispy bread and virgin olive oil?" |

- Many icons of the 1960s wine revival that guided California into international prominence are in the twilight of their careers. Ernest Gallo is 93. Robert Mondavi is 90. Julio Gallo, Joe Heitz and Louis M. Martini, three of the state's greatest winemakers, are dead. |

|
- Last year's August heatwave across Europe has reportedly produced an outstanding French vintage, both in Burgundy and Bordeaux. Ironically, it seems to be a classic case of less is more, since the high summer temperatures apparently sizzled up to a third of the grapes on the vine. |

- The head wine waiter at one of Scotland's top hotels has been banned from the road for drink-driving. Malo Bontemps, 22, who works at posh Gleneagles Hotel, was spotted by police driving the wrong way up a road. |

- Partying Britons will spend 2.7 billion Pounds on booze this Christmas, drinking twice as much as normal. The country will down 49 million bottles of wine, eight million bottles of spirits, seven million bottles of liqueurs, 117 million pints of beer and 16 million bottles of champagne in just two weeks. |

|
- The easiest and hardest holiday shopping has already begun. Buying wine for Christmas parties and holiday dinners; to take to neighbor's houses; and to give as gifts adds up to a long and complicated list. Filling it can seem an expensive, endless and not-so-jolly chore. |

|
- If you're one of those wine drinkers who can't stand the thought of imbibing anything that comes from a screwcap-stopped bottle, and think a wine is worthy only if it comes complete with a good old cork, then you'll be pleased by cork producer Amorim's latest initiative. |

|
- There's only one basic rule to remember here. In the minefield that is food-and-wine matching, there is just one thing that is sure to send a vegetarian screaming for the door. Don't serve them heavy tannic reds to wash down a veggie risotto, quiche or polenta. |

- Global warming, they say, is affecting wine. For the first time in a millennium, the phrase English wine doesn't require a smirk. And Germany is producing drinkable reds, a move every bit as surprising as if they swapped achtung for aloha and turned their beer halls into Tiki rooms. |

- The West Village seems like it would be a nice place to paint, or write poetry, or drink yourself to death- I think Dylan Thomas did all three back in the 1950s. Back about a million years ago, my friend Sarah would sometimes take me out for drinks at the Lion's Head- this famous literary bar over on Christopher Street. All these grizzled journalists and failed writers used to hang out in the back room- like some window into the past. Of course, the Lion's Head is now closed- Kettle of Fish opened in the same space- and I... |

- Behold! The decorated Christmas tree at la casa de go fish! The tree is so tall I needed a ladder to reach the top. And, despite some ornaments that could not be with us today, I even had enough ornaments to go around. Of course, looking at the tree in the photo it appears that the top of the tree is barely decorated. |
