Angels wept

I was lucky enough to be invited to dinner at High Table in Trinity College last night. The wines on the table were a sauvignon blanc from Touraine, a Loire appellation which I was not really familiar with; and a red (pinot noir of course) Chassagne-Montrachet. The latter was superb.

And why did the angels weep? At a guess about 1/4 of the wine on the table was drunk. I can only hope that the remainder was consumed in quiet appreciation by some of the staff.
