[Leica] Food photos

[Douglas Barry]

Not in the Ritz, Jayanand, as their wine list is pretty comprehensive 
especially for the great Bordeaux chateaux, and the Petrus property 
produces magnificent wine.

The Ritz wine list for 2020 had three - Château Petrus 2008 £4,900, 
Château Petrus 2001 £4,900, Château Petrus 1999 £4,200, but that's only 
the restaurant, there are also four large private dining rooms which 
cater for the quiet wealth segment. There are better years available for 
those fine people, I've heard. Sadly, I'm in the noisy poor segment... :-)
