Just heading out of the Bay Area on the train to Sacramento - skirting the edge of Napa. Which reminded me of this thread, and what a delight Napa and Samona are. Well worth the drive, the new Bay Bridge is pretty spectacular as an alternative to the Golden Gate.

Most importantly what are you drinking?

You well know the answer to that! If nothing suitable for a man of class and taste, would suggest a good solid Cote de Rhone.

I used to go to Dylan Prime in Tibeca - a lot, 2001 -2003 - soon after it had opened. looks like they have had a refurb. Always a good experience in there.

It's a very important time of the year here in Washington D.C - Beer Madness, with the Washington Post staging it's annual beer tasting competition. http://www.washingtonpost.com/beer-madness/?hpid=z8 There are some absolute classics in that line up, all from the local region, including one...

Should be OK at that altitude....let's hope there is some craft beer to be had!

I came back from Verbier 10 days ago, all pistes were in superb condition and the off piste was excellent too. Nothing was tracked out and there was fresh powder to be found with a little walking. That said it had just snowed then, and I'm not sure what's happened since, but it will be doable...

Celtic not planning to sell Virgil van Dijk, says Neil Lennon Celtic manager Neil Lennon says selling Virgil van Dijk in the summer is "not on the horizon". The 22-year-old Dutch defender has enjoyed a hugely impressive first season at Celtic Park. And his agent, Henk-Maarten Chin, was...

Retirement in their 50's! What a life!

He lived Southamton way I think, and after the 'incident' pretty much stopped traveling across.

Correct. I was a steward at that time and was stood right next to Keith. It was no accident and we had a good chuckle about it in the players bar afterwards. Keith used to 'run' the bar for the players and was also something of a 'fixer' for the players, especially if it involved home appliances.

Spainish Harlem.

Cheers HT, I do have a potential London trip 'brewing' so that great idea might just just be possible.

It is unfortunate that there is not more local choice, at least in Verbier. Hopefully it will inspire some locals to gert in on the act, and talking to a local in the food and drink distribution industry that may be the case. By the way I don't think the burgers analogy works. None of the beers...

I'm on my annual ski trip, Verbier this year. Usual lousy choice of fizzy Euro pop in most bars, as is to be expected. But wait, last night in Pub Mont Fort they had a small, but very wecome, craft beer section featuring Sierra Nevada, Flying Dog, Brooklyn Lager and your very own Brew Dog Punk...

Not forgetting large, but imobile central defenders, and fullbacks with orders not to pass the half way line.

It's a worrying trend for sure. It will be very interesting to see how the indies are doing in 10 years or so, a major competitive issue they have is that it is a lot harder for them to distribute effeiciently than it is for the big boys, so they are already at a disadvantage. Now the cunning...

I think it is about protecting the small independents otherwise the process of consolidation continues, choice reduces and we are back at square one. I don't agree that it is about being 'trendy'.

Must have been that Sponge Bob bloke behind the bar, the one who posts on here, you know 'beer is beer'.
