A waiter stopped by and put down two crystalline glasses of water. “Welcome to Le Poisson. My name is Austin and I’ll be your waiter tonight. Shall we start with a nice vintage? We have a bottle of 2008 Didier Dagueneau Silex Sauvignon Blanc that has a lovely grapefruit scent. It makes the perfect compliment to seafood.”
