Zoot Makes His Point

[Teddy Dupont]

For all of you who have been asking, I can confirm Zoot is doing well in his new life.

Many of you will no doubt have read the report that an £18,000 magnum of 1961 Pétrus ordered by "a young, smart Englishman" at Zafferano's in Knightsbridge was rejected by said "young, smart Englishman" who noticed the cork had not been properly authenticated. When the General Manager tested the wine, he said it tasted like mouldy vegetables hence vindicating the astute "young, smart Englishman".

Unperturbed, this "young, smart Englishman" went on to order a £20,000 magnum of 1945 Mouton Rothschild instead. What a trooper!!

I can exclusively reveal to readers of this forum that the "young, smart Englishman" was, in fact, Zoot out with some chums on his usual Friday night, end-of-the-week celebration.

P.S. For those cynics who feel that in no way could the words "smart", "young" or "Englishman" refer to Zoot, please remember the report was written by a typical, don't-bother-me-with-the-facts, newspaper hack.

P.P.S. I am sure you will all realise that 1961 was a vintage year for Pétrus.

You are only sulking because Zoot no longer invites you along to his little soirées. I am afraid those days of your intimate sessions with him at the "Big Boys Arms" have long since gone.

Then I suggest you start running as fast as you possibly can, do not stop under any circumstances and, above all, never bend over to tie up your shoelaces.
