food and drink

got fed for free again. washed down with:

ponte prosecco

straw, fine mousse but without any persistence; grapey, lemon zest, yeasty; lemon, bread; sharp acidity; 11% but goes to my head rather fast; goes flat fast too; FIZZLE!
domaine laporte pouilly fume les duchesses 2005 [loire, sauv blanc]

straw/light gold; herbal, lemon, cut grass; lemon curd/jam (quite rich), grass, savoury, chalk/mineral; off dry; balanced by sharpish juicy acidity; medium bodied; medium length; 12.5%; BANG! nice with the grilled portabello mushrooms and the baked camembert. no kiwifruit in sight.
