N o one else wants to touch it.
For a second, the jovial
conversation around the table
abruptly stops as the waiter
waves The List in the air. It can
be a stressful moment for any
dinner. There are few social
situations that seem to carry as
much responsibility as choosing
wine at a restaurant. If the people
sitting around the table get the
idea that one among them has
claim to special insight, The List
will invariably land with a thud in
front that person. That person is
usually me.
