ZAP event

[Thomas]

Last year, at an Italian wine event in the Hyatt Hotel--NYCity--I saw as I left the crowded room a man maneuvering towards the escalator. He was going down; the escalator was going up; the facts did not get in his way. He began to walk down the up escalator and then lost his footing and stumbled to the bottom. As he made it on to the carpet he let out a howl, spun around and then shouted "I'm going to fall." He did; right on his face. It took five minutes for the guards to get him righted.

Another piece of tasting etiquette: spit the excess!
