Wine not?

A long, hard week is finally over.

The department inter-cultural seminar in Albi (southern France) was great.  Since we were in the middle of a wine making region, we naturally ended up at a vineyard in Gaillac and were given two bottles of wine in addition to the three I bought after tasting a variety of their wines.  This was followed by a wine-tasting session with dinner, marking and scoring wines as the courses were served.  Things degenerated nicely thanks to cries from (me and the) Brits of "what do you mean what colour?  it's red!" and "what do you mean when should it be drunk?  now sounds good!".

Funny thing is, I seem to be getting no sympathy over my lack of sleep these last few nights.  Shucks.

  1. Sympathy? You want sympathy for a self induced problem?
