Decanter often has a short interviw with a UK sommelier in their restaurants section, and I found the one in the Oct. 2007 issue of more than usual interest. Frederic Brugues is is sommelier at Sketch in London. He was asked about the oddest request he ever received. Years earlier when he worked at another restaurant, a customer asked for ice and lemonade to be put in her glass of 1978 DRC Montrachet. He said he complied then. Today, he said he would smile and bring a free spritzer. Otherwise it would be too painful for him.
