The Holiday Madness has truly begun...

[Botafogo]

10:05 AM on a dreary Sunday in Santa Monica and my first customer wants a bottle of Cristal Champagne. I ask if he is interested in the fact that he can get TWO bottles of something comparable and change back from that sort of money and he declines as he wants "the best".

THEN he asks, "I don't know anything about this stuff, do I have to chill it or can I just pour it on ice"......

Swear to God!
