TdF Day 41 - Lunch faux pas

Grand plans for our big lunch have been problematic. Intentions for lunch at Epernay restaurant at Grillard Gourmand were upset by local winemaker Philippe Mignon giving it the thumbs down. Failure to find transport other than birthday boys driving also was a contention. We opted for a simple "birthday" lunch in a little local cafe. With our translator Sandra otherwise engaged, the TD took on the task of phoning and booking. All went well up until we arrived at the restaurant and discovered the wrong number at been dialed....... simple lunch at home again, but compensated by downing a magnum of 1998 Vintage Mumm champagne supplied by Queen Kez and excellent Premier Cru Meursault. Happy day and will try lunch out tomorrow.
