He has recently hired Eric Foreman, who, despite his considerable academic background, appears to have been hired because he was a juvenile delinquent. House's best (and only) friend is the hospital's Head of Oncology, James Wilson, who, unlike House, is conscientious and considerate, but also extremely loyal to House. However she keeps him on because when the rest of the doctors are stumped, House swings into action. This infuriates his boss, Dean of Medicine Lisa Cuddy. We learn that despite his considerable intellect and talents as a physician, he does next to no work at the hospital, merely coming in from 9 to 5 to oversee his three teaching fellows.

House and his team as they solve a medical case each episode. As such for Xmas this year, I’m recommending not only some delicious wines but some delicious recordings to go with them.The first season of House premiered on Novemand ended on May 24, 2005. That confirmed what my brain and palate has suspected all along they were meant for each other. I read a fairly exhaustive article by Charles Spence and Qian Wang (check it out at ) published back in 2015 that studied how frequencies and melodies affect our sense of taste, specifically with wine. All the Beatles and Mozart records in the world would not have saved that place but there is now solid scientific research linking our sense of taste to the love of music. Some of you may recall an ill-fated local cigar and Champagne bar, for example – come on in and taste how one of these things will murder the other with a blunt instrument.
