Improving the wine list with stock from a guest wine enthusiast

An idea that an enterprising Australian restaurant or two should follow - a guest wine enthusiast

Blandford Comptoir, London — FT.com:

"Over the years Rousset has learnt one aspect of life in wine in the UK that he has put to very good use: that many of his customers have amassed far more wine than they can possibly drink and are more than happy to find a good home for it. On the last page of the latest Rousset wine list, therefore, is a section headed “Guest Enthusiast”. When we visited, this referred to wines obtained from Colin Wynter QC, described as “an avid collector, a fast talker and a long supporter of Xavier’s ventures”. It listed five mature red Burgundies and one mature red Bordeaux — wines that are out of reach for most restaurateurs — at very fair prices."
