| So began our waitress' proud spiel, which unfurled with such unnaturally perky bounce that serious caffeine must have been involved. I suppose I did not need to know her dietary preferences ("I'm one vegetable girl, but I'm also into flesh!"), that her boyfriend did all the cooking at home, or that she always felt guilty after eating lava cake, all before we cracked the menu. But her enthusiasm for Fleming's appeared to be genuine and unconditional. ... |

Did you know that Australia is mainly responsible for making wine one party drink?
Oh, I know that big brands like Blue Nun and Black Tower were doing the rounds decades earlier, but with all due respect these were more like coolers than real wine.
Australia tamed the beasty nature of serious reds such as Cabernet, Merlot and Shiraz therefore they could be easily sipped by office girls and guys. ... |

| Wine bar exceeds expectations |

Some friends had scouted out the place for me one couple of weeks earlier, and as I drove over to Plymouth to meet them there, I wondered whether I should even be planning to review it.
