Alistair asks where Phil fits in, she says Phil was a neighbour and they were in a relationship until recently he ended it. Alistair says he did not seem her type and first impressions come in handy in his business as it is a tough game. He asks Phil about the wine, Phil says some nice Margaret river Chardonnay which Alistair replies nice wine, they lost it a bit in the late 80s but the last couple of years have been a real return to form one for the cellar. Phil asks if he knows his wine, Alistair likes his wine appreciation. Phil leaves them to catch up.
