Reflections on a Recession (January)

What can I say?
It has not been too bad in old Cava.
People are still coming in having food and drinking wine.
We will not say they are coming in their thousands.
But they are coming all the same.
We got a great write up in the Mail over the weekend!
So I'm sure this will help things.
The wine menu is finished and going to print tomorrow.
Over 80 Spanish wines - the biggest in the country!
Can't wait to try some of the expensive ones.
Shared the €105 Christopher Lopez with staff over xmas.
Literally (and figuratively) amazing.
Best wine I have had in years.
You may say, how can you spend that on a wine.
We got six glasses - about €17.50 a glass.
But you only live once.

At least the last time I checked.

So what have we learned:

1) That January is not as bad as I thought it would be.

2) Wine that cost over €100 a bottle in most likely good (this is not to say our €20 wine is bad - it is not, just that it's the different between Ryanair and a private jet).
