Top 10 Tunes

Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome back to the Dayglo! Yes, apologies -- we've been closed for a couple of weeks so that Andrejz and his Polish Plumbers could complete yet another dazzling reno here at the "World's Most Garish Nightclub" -- Christian Science Monitor. Delays were unfortunately necessitated by having had to relieve various Kardashians of their décor duties -- their innate good taste proved to be problematic. However Desiree's inspired suggestion of hiring Barry Manilow as consultant proved to be a winner, and now we're back bigger and better than ever, slap bang in the middle of the world's biggest lava lamp. That, combined with Barry's inclination for a Safari sub-theme (How about those zebra pattern banquettes?) and the Dayglo feels more exotic than Marlon Brando in Tahiti!

Today, on the decks, please welcome a most distinguished man of letters and booze, a man who has done more to put New Zealand Wine on the map than just about anyone else we can think of (mind you we're not exactly thinking at our best right now -- after all, this is Dayglo Dancing Dementia time). He's a wine buff, critic, judge, educator, writer ... He has worked with wine for almost 40 years ; good lord, he's marinated in wine. You can find his work in the Wine Spectator, Decanter, Gourmet Traveller, North and South etc, and books galore. He travels everywhere, speaks everywhere, judges all over the world, and has drunk absolutely everything. His unflagging enthusiasm and immaculate palate are legendary, as is his wit and bonhommie. Let's face it, writing and talking about wine can often be a bit ... well, dull -- Bob Campbell is a glorious entertaining exception.

Give him a big hand, Disco Divas, we unfortunately don't have time today for Bob to give us the skinny on wine, he's here on equally serious business -- he's our D J tonight...make way please for the one and only...MR BOB CAMPBELL!
