Pinot Tasting Tonight

Morning campers, sorry no post yesterday. I sadly spent the entire day writhing around on the couch in agony following an evening in the pub drinking beer. The first place I have found in the US with real, live hand pump beer will most likely be the last time I try that out. Call me a lightweight or whatever you want, but I'm pretty sure that I shouldn't be feeling this bad after only 5-6 beers. Something tells me that the dive bar I was in doesn't clean its beer lines very often. It seems that every time I go to the pub here and drink draft beer, which isn't very often, I feel terrible the next day regardless of how much or little I drink. This didn't happen in England when I was there over Christmas. I guess it's bottled beer or no beer here, which will basically be no beer, because as we all know American beer is disgracefully shocking. Even the decent micro-brewed beers are ruined by being served as cold as possible without freezing.. There's clearly a multitude of reasons then why I drink a lot of wine..

So, tonight I am going to a pinot and boeuf bourgignon evening at a local wine merchant. I am hoping that there will be a slant towards Burgundy, obviously, especially seeing as though they are furnishing us with boeuf bourg, but we shall see. And it's a flower day now, so hopefully all will be good. More later..
