And Away We (mar)Gaux - Chateau Margaux 2004

When you’re invited to someone’s home to share a taste of their culture you jump at the offer.  Always keep in mind though, there are certain rules that must be followed. First rule is you don’t ask what they are serving. That’s just plain rude man. Besides, you probably won’t recognize what their serving anyway, so don’t take away the suspense and surprise of the moment. Rule number 2, do not disregard anything that is offered; doesn’t matter if you’re convinced you won’t like it. Simply try it, smile accordingly and, if it tastes like death, then politely thank them and dodge that dish like a chunky kid running for his life during a game of dodgeball.
