Re: Working on my beer-culture. (none / 1)

Mind you the best wine I ever tasted was made in Tehran. The grapes and conditions there are just fab. Illegal, of course, but some of the best of it came from a chateau that looked remarkably like the filtration and pump room of the typical diplomat's swimming pool.

I think you should try the Palestinian beer first - you never know.

Re: Working on my beer-culture. (4.00 / 2)

I think a good home vintner will make the best wine, cos they want to drink it. I've had some fab wine from down in sandanski market, whilst the commercial stuff is pretty damn ugly drinking.

But I confess that the further one gets from traditional beer countries, the worse my expectations. Palestine rates somewhere near mexico or spain in my mind. If it isn't actually repellent that will be a plus.

keep to the Fen Causeway
