I found the Rochefort 10 in a shop, under 4€ a bottle. I will report back when I’ll buy it.

Same. I pretty much never partake of alcohol while flying. Don't like getting dehydrated or having my senses dulled.
The last time I did was when we flew to Europe on Air France and I finally fulfilled my childhood fantasy of sipping a glass of Champagne in the upstairs lounge on a Boeing 747. Nevermind that Air France had converted the upstairs lounges on their 747s into Economy Plus seating by that point — it still counts!

I greatly enjoyed a glass (or three) of Pouilly-Fuisée yesterday evening.

Purchased two bottles of Pouilly-Fuissé yesterday, but still had a dry - alcohol-free - evening.

Yesterday was the 21st anniversary of my dad's death; hence, last night, I raised a glass (or three) of some excellent Pouilly-Fuissé to his memory; always missed and much loved.

Enjoyed a glass of Chablis (a lovely white wine from Burgundy) last night.

Placed an order for some of my favourite wines: Chassagne & Meursault. Can’t wait to receive the bottles!

What a wonderful image: I can almost taste them, and most certainly, would relish and savour such a superb selection of superlative wines.
Do enjoy.

Random finding in this beer shop. Shop in Germany, beer from England.
Sultanas, exceptionally soft on the palate. Giving way to increasing notes of caramel and sweet cereal. This is exactly what a Barleywine should be.
€ 39 a bottle. Worth it.

Last night, I enjoyed a glass (or two) of Pouilly-Fuissé, a classic (and almost buttery and creamy in texture) white wine from Burgundy.
Bought some wine yesterday: Two bottles of Viognier, (two different vineyards, one was 100% Viognier, the other a blend), a Côtes du Rhône comprised of 100% Grenache, and a Pinot Gris and a Gewürztraminer - both from Alsace.

I like it. Juicy, smooth and creamy. Thank you.

It is a terrific beer, one of my favourites.
Last night, I enjoyed a glass (or two) of Chablis, while the previous evening, in a rather good tapas bar/wine bar, I sipped and savoured two glasses of Alberino, an exceedingly nice Spanish white wine; the third glass was a Godello, another rather pleasant Spanish wine.

Enjoyed a glass (or three) of an agreeable and rather palatable Albarino, a Spanish white wine, last night.

Yes! Yes !! YES!!! Spring is here again and summer on the way. All the open air terraces are opening in Geneva and around the lake area. Time for local beers, wine and accompanying food with friends and why not on my own. Long weekend up next too. 🍻
