 After freeing frequent client Hugh Timson on a charge of receiving stolen silver plate, Rumpole attends a blind wine-tasting party with colleague and wine snob, Erskine-Brown. Coincidently, the host of the party claims that the garageful of pricey wine found in Timson s backyard has been stolen from him. In addition to taking the case, Rumpole works to get young Liz Probert into chambers.
