There’s art on the walls of course, completely or for the most part, obscured by people with fancy hairdos, wearing clothes that seem like they have been hastily pulled out of laundry baskets with zero time to coordinate. Don’t be fooled, for reality speaks otherwise—they are the outcome of hours of careful consideration.

The wine is invariably omnipresent.
