Blanche de Chambly - nearer a white wine taste, not so full, I had 2 or 3 - less impact than prior 2. Ladies beer? I could drink these often. Not too smashed from 3.
Lovely evening! Had a grand time talking to a famous potter and his two guests. One was a fellow potter and ceramics maker from Japan, accompanied by a M\museum owner selling Japanese antiques out of his gallery in the East 70's in Manhatten. We had a great time tasting all kinds of beer. Xman, the bartender, had spent a year in China translating English, and knew a little Japanese which he tried out on his guests.
After they left, another acquaintance told me about his March trip to Tuscany after I told him I was planning an October trip. He was a student of the Culinary Institute of America (CIA in Hyde Park)! His details of what he cooked and ate on his trip proved he was not an amateur - which he had led me to believe with his descriptions of cooking everything he made on his gas grill (including macaroni and cheese that he previously took home to warm up!) Was he pulling my leg or what??!!
