All Bar One, Richmond

All Bar one is the kind of pub where you know what you're going to get, we go there from time to time as you always know there will be pretty decent food, and a gopod selection of wines.
However I was 'shocked' and 'furious' when I arrived into this pub on Saturday night and asked the bar man for a Pinot Grigio Blush to drink, which happens to be my favourite drink, recommended to me by a dear friend and now i'm hooked! This drink was the 'drink of the summer' in the city and canary wharf, sold in all the good bars and pubs, so I was a little taken aback when the bar man gave me an extremely odd look and replied that he didn't know what i was talking about....
To be honest I would expect better from all bar one staff! surely as bar workers they are paid to know what is popular? and i also do not expect to be made to feel like an idiot when i ask for a particular drink!
I will not be returning to this bar, unless they get in some Pinot Grigio Blush or some more knowledgeable bar staff!
FURIOUS
