Really looking forward to next week's Glasgow wine dinner. The lineup is beyond anything I could've imagined (because everyone else attending is rolling in it and sitting on a collection of 30+ years).
This place has one hell of a sommelier. Just got a brief lesson on Austria and Furmint.
@matigo Birmingham's city centre is pedestrian/tram only. Too risky to hope for a cab to show. And I don't carry that much cash. And I like the silence of Uber. And I needed the phone rebooted anyway, obviously.
(All this panic to call an Uber)
I would've taken the bus but at £2.4 for a single trip outside the city centre and buses every 20 minutes, I couldn't be bothered. Uber seems to be £5 either way.
iPhone crashed 30 mins before a lunch appointment. Power+home wouldn't do anything, it was stuck on the spinning cog reboot. Ran to the Apple Store and they reminded me it was now home+vol down.
Sigh.
Will probably be just in time for lunch.
@joeo10 The only thing mixed was the tequila mixto, a category I'd until now only read about in articles describing the dangers of the lower shelves.
@kdfrawg Yes, I made the mistake of trusting the reviews. The risk triples in a small city like this where dive bars reign and £7 or under per cocktail is expected…half the people on the streets tonight seem to be bouncers.
So chose the wrong place for dinner. Awful Mexican chain.
Paid and came to a beer bar I hadn't seen recommended but got very good reviews when I looked it up after walking past it on the way to said awful restaurant. Great beer, comfortable ambiance, friendly staff…wonder if they do dessert…
@streakmachine Had never tasted a more watery americano before, but it was clear that the beans themselves were fresh and full of flavour.
