I will check your recommendation out sir. Currently have 3 bottles of Brunello di Montalcino waiting to be consumed, but I don't have the right glasses. Life can be trying. Le Mans sounds like it should be checked out. Did you used to come back from Hong Kong for it? I'd also recommend the Indy 500. Can't be described as a gourmand experience, but huge fun mingling with drunk rednecks, who do know how to barbecue a steak and make properly hot chilli.
Diamante according to someone who renewed their season ticket today. He was in talks last week but will probably move to a bigger club in Italy due to their performance.
Didn't think much of him from what I saw, he's already failed at the Hammers so I hope he stays in Italy...
