My favourite part of the evening!
We do a fair bit of dinner-party-entertaining (often work related) but I always find by the time we reach the cheese and port everyone is nicely relaxed and "glowing" slightly from a few large glasses of wine. A good glass of port (it's worth spending a little extra for a decent aged-in-the-wood one) is usually the signal for the jokes and tall stories to commence.
Micca has got the cheeseboard covered with a good selection (good sized slabs look nice and are easier to get at) and for anyone still left standing after that lot hit 'em with coffee, brandy/liqueurs and petit-fours (fancy chocolates)!
Pour them into their taxis at the appointed hour and sit down with a single malt while congratulating yourself on a job well done!
Hope you have a great evening JimmyT, (wish I was coming)
