I think Leslie does a great job. She doesn't stand in the way of the show's focus, at least to me. If we're going to divert the reviews to include the restaurant's wine cellar and its sommelier, it would kill the show. Few people have the time and pocket book to dredge up the appropriate wine from memory or to gamble with a $30 bottle or even to grill the sommelier succesfully for the perfect pairing. We want to experience the food, the wait staff, everything, not to mention who we're with. That's what I love about the show. It focuses on everything I look for when I go out, and Leslie's show really does that well. Oh, she does toss in helpful tidbits from that of a wine connossieur, occasionally. But it's all about the food at the end of the day.
