Editorial Review

Enter tiny Gucci dress and untucked beer gut holding hands.  They surrender at Waterloo to enjoy a crushing culinary defeat.  Pleasant paralysis blamed on ballast-worthy braised meats and gratins every which a way. A dozen sturdy draughts draw the starting line for a list one hundred labels long, most of it bottled by Flemish-chanting monks.  The cellar is all France and California.  Lots of little lamps.  Necktie not required, just everything that comes with.
