29Jan Sommelier Dinner

We have signed up for sommelier dinner at the Pinnacle restaurant.
So did whole our table mates.
It is 7 course meals with 6 different matching wines.
Everyone enjoyed whole courses as they were elaborately prepared by chef Das but agreed that the garlic and leek soup was the best of all!
Wine refill was generous by Ingo, the ship’s sommelier from Germany and I had Greg’s portions as well.
Unfortunately, he is not a drinker!
I had very pleasant (#%*?) night after drinking nearly 20 glasses of wine and port for the night.
