No.

Blind taste tests have been done with pro wine drinkers and their guesses were all over the place.

Here in the US you get the biggest bang for the buck with the very affordable Chilean and Argie wines. Not sure what their prices are in Europe.

Better yet - and this is for fellow health geeks - stick to the distilled stuff, the healthier alt (red wine being healthy isn't true).
When my wife and I were living in SF, we got into the habit of buying Russian River Valley pinot noirs that ran $70 and up. We’re drinking wine all the time now in Portugal and are paying next to nothing for really good wines. Last month we bought a €9 wine at the market and laughed, “What are we, the Rockefellers?” Times have changed.

We just talked randomly in English.

I got the job btw :lol2:
Congrats! He totally called it. :p

@swag hello sir

how goes it out yonder in Portugal?
It’s alright. Low key. Chill. Not a single government agency has ever heard of user experience or service design. But that’s ok. Because you have great sunsets and a plate of awesome food and life is good. :D

How’s New York treating you? Riding that conveyor belt to death with little ones and all? ;)

I'll be in lisbon tonight, holla at yo boy
No way! I wish I had known! Got Portugal-Serbia plans tonight. What brings you in town, and will you be around tomorrow evening? Lunch even?

From the sound of things he’s living life like a Portuguese Paul Giamatti.
Not entirely inaccurate.

You like being so close?
It's better than I expected. I saw the 2010 WC Cape Town semifinal (Uruguay-Netherlands) in the third row behind the player tunnel exit, and it was pretty dope. But I haven't been this close since then... usually preferring the higher perspective up a tribuna.

Ha! Why so? I mean, yeah ... I can see lots of reasons why. But a man of French literature such as yourself?? :D

Sweetness. I know yer heart is in Texas. Which kinda makes me giggle a little, but also kinda not. Seems like Austin is getting the brunt of American influx these days, and Dallas is far enough away. ;)

No free refills and no farang perks, granted Portugal is pretty sweet compared to the rest
