MCINERNEY/MCCARTNEY: In his latest wine column for the WSJ, Jay McInerney recounts a recent dinner at the "fashionable" Hamptons restaurant Nick & Toni's in which Sir Paul McCartney was seated next to him. McInerney writes: "Not long after I ordered [the 2002 Faiveley Corton Clos de Corton], I saw the same half bottle turn up on Sir Paul's table. When I remarked on his good taste to the sommelier, she told me that he'd asked her what I was drinking." [WSJ via Eater National]
