Every day, thousands of people in the UK see the bank card details of Mrs. Natalie West, but her bank

doesn't mind. Why? The answer to that at the end of the show. My name's Tom Scott, and this is

Lateral. Welcome to a 2025 vintage of lateral.

Once more, we've uncorked seven questions to tantalise the intellectual taste buds

and leave a lingering finish of satisfaction.

And speaking of things that are robust, earthy and occasionally fruity, let's meet the players.

First, we have wine critic for The Guardian and regular on Sunday brunch.

Hannah Crosby, welcome back to the show.

Hi, that was an amazing tasting note.

I'm very very impressed.

Was it anywhere near accurate?

Because I do not understand tasting notes or anything like how there.

How does that work?

Oh, well, I mean, you've just got to find a way to sort of bring the wine alive, although I will say,

what was it long and something? A lingering finish of satisfaction, which honestly, as I read that,

I thought that's a bit questionable. It's a bit questionable. I don't know whether you'd be able to, but yeah, long satisfying finish is one.

And then I'll also say that probably won't make the cut, but I read the phrase,

creamy finish more times than a day than I would care to admit.

And that goes right past them.

But yeah, that was absolutely brilliant. Thank you. Well, good luck on the show today. This is the fourth episode you've been on, I think. It is indeed. How are you settling in? I'm settling in just great. I'm settling in just great. I'm really enjoying my time here. I kind of always follow this of this pattern of being really quiet at the start

and then being really gobby towards the end of the episode. So we'll see if that happens. Joining you today, we have two more returning players from the Sighkeyes podcast. It is Luke and Corrie Will. And last time we went to Corrie first. We're going to go to Luke this time. How are you doing?

Hello. I'm good. Thank you, Tom.
