Chard substitute for wine-tasting

[Innkeeper]

Well, today we got ahold of a Routas Cabernet Sauvignon ('01 Cabernet Sauvignon That Wild Boars Prefer [in Engligh] $8.99 at The Clown in Belfast). God awful plonk. Particularly irksome, since we had a nice '00 Bordeaux at the same price a few days ago, and according to Google, The Clown was supposed to have it. They are trying to find it for me now, and they we really have to try after this one.

Had a nice meal despite the plonk. Salisbury steaks grilled with mesquite smoke, sauteed shitake mushrooms, and salad with vinaigrette dressing.
