EV 905 Management, by Samuel

Hello EV N&C Wine Clubbers,
If my memory serves me well, this theme appeared in The Speccie not too long ago, so the training was useful. The second, but unrelated theme added weight to the enjoyment of solving this EV.
Time for a Tempranillo!

If you enjoy Italian, you might like Latium, which I think is in that area, Devadolly.

Hi

I'm chugging my way along but am stuck with 26d! This might be because I have one of the 6 entered at 33a.

Confirmation that 33a is part of the theme and a hint for 26d would be appreciated.

Hi Mampara!

33a is not thematic. Defintion is shoot in the air.
26 d Definition is series of ancient stories. The huge breakwater can also be a small mammal which cause problems on your lawn

Both answers were new words on me.

Thanks novalis.

I was thinking about the spy under the lawn but having 33a wrong threw me.

Our comments echo everyone else I think - and I am not going to unleash the h-g's puns on anyone. I am not sure what price range all the proffered restaurants fall into - I am afraid we tend to aim low and probably slightly further east than you would be looking. However, if you haven't eaten at St John's then it is an experience to put on your list although not necessarily for an anniversary; ditto Rules. On the south side of the river, the Oxo Tower is good, and a gem is Magdelene (between the London Dungeon and Tower Bridge - this one courtesy of our son who thinks himself a bit of a gourmand!). Of course there is always Shekey's (spelling?) as a fishy fall back. Do let us know where you eventually end up!

Thank you all for the suggestions, they have flooded in from all quarters and Latium is looking good, though The Forge on Garrick st is in the frame too! Will appraise you all of the chosen dining experiences upon return - thank you again. Mind you, we still have next Sunday's experience to conquer before I 'sort' the 'do'.
