Had a nice Pacifico Clara tonight just before a dinner of cold jalapeño and bell pepper chicken salad on crackers!

 

[colin traveller]

Very very very nice indeed . Smooth imo

Ricard - you couldn’t think of a more « French » appetizers
Pretty good in summer...

It's getting harder and harder to find a bottle at that price . .. here , Scummery SNP put the price of drink up via a tax ,,

If you get 'Independence' it will be the same price as Iceland

Wait, I just noticed the brand: There is something like SAS port?!

It's steaming hot outside even at this time of day, so I went for some white wine. Müller-Thurgau from the Saale-Unstrut region in the east of Germany.

I've had that variety once. There is a bit of it grown in Oregon. I expect it was nice and refreshing!

AS to me: I found a can of Sierra Nevada Sierraveza, about a week ago, under a small pine tree just off a ski run at my local resort. It obviously had been dropped during the season by someone and it had not been out of the melted snow or gotten heated by the hot sun. It was darn tasty and very light and refreshing last night after a sunny day's activities!

Had that Sierraveza before, very good imo.

After a long walk along the coast town and beach where I often hang out in the summer, I felt like Trappiste Rochefort 8 was a decent reward. What I like about this one is despite its 10% it’s not boozy and smooth on the palate, overall the flavors are a delight like those Belgian monks are capable to produce:

And here I thought, that would be cigarettes and depression

Nice, glad to know that I am visiting the right and proper France still.

Landing on Saturday I reckon? It’s going to be super hot... 38c in Paris just is unbearable.

 

[Junglejim]

I'll be in Paris by 11pm... I pray to god your people has figured out air conditioning or an electric fan. I'm from the Philippines, so last time I took a breath of non air conditioned air was last year... when I was in Europe.

 

[Jake84]

Nah. Only 4% of our houses and appartments have AC. Unlike the US where it’s about 90%.

Enjoy the sweating and steer clear of smelly armpits in the metro...

 

[Junglejim]

Thats what the Pastis and absinthe are for, to help me sleep at night.

No mate, it will be a commemorative issue. Lots of units here in Oz do the same thing on special occasions

An excellent tradition. I like that.

Got a can of Occidental Edel-Hell. Those guys from Occidental make a good variety of the standard German variations!
