'This is one of our most recent vintages!'

"Waiter! Two of your finest menus!"

'Of course you're very dear to me - that meal just cost a fortune.'

"Who ordered the moose en croute?"

'I'm filling in for the sommelier. We have a fine shiraz today for only $39. It's 14.7 alcohol, a Class 1B flammable, so if I see you consume it near an open flame, I'll have to cite you.'

Wine taster with mineral water

"Waiter... my entrée fell over."

"...and the asparagus this evening is delightful. It's been simmering all day in the tears of the poor."
