At The Priory, Friday and Saturday nights invariably involve wine tasting sessions. What started as a ruse to squeeze a glass of wine or two out of the Chief Psychiatrist has now become a weekly ritual.
We take great pleasure in setting everything up – from lovingly washing and drying the wine glasses to carefully decanting the wine. More often than not, different types of cheese and pate are involved too.
But now we’ve reached new heights. We’ve devised a scoring system (it’s still in a prototype version so I can’t divulge it yet). I’ve printed off some scoring sheets and hope to transfer everything to a spreadsheet. I never knew a single bottle of wine could give so much pleasure.
In fact, Chief Psychiatrist and I plan to write a book about our experiences and publish it later this year.
We’ve not thought of a name for it yet although the Chief Nurse has suggested ‘The Plonkers’ Guide to Plonk’.
I think she’s trying to tell us something.
