Directors cut
Now I do remember that I liked this one- but it was white too...
An artist specially designed the labels for there bottles...
Syrah is the name of this full-bodied red- don't remember if I liked the wine or the label...
But we went wine tasting too
After all the beer, we had to make sure to also get some wine tasting in and I would have to lie if I said it wasn't at least as good as...

My favorite beer & food pairing
So this was an interesting one- the beer tasted a lot of hazelnut. A little strange for a beer, you might say and rightly so. But the food ...
Another heavy one I believe
The label says it all- it's ruthless... No, seriously don't quite remember and I passed on the sliders too so can't say too much...
Russian river damnation
Interestingly enough Russian River is a part of Sonoma that we got to know pretty well during our trip and this micro brewery has its roots ...
Stone IPA
I believe that this is quite a popular one here in the US, not just in California but also at the East Coast. However, all the hopp in this ...
Beer or no beer - I really liked this one
So basically the concept of beer & food pairing is simple- the host chooses not just one beer to go with different courses but every cou...
Beer & Food pairing - what a brilliant idea....
We have really been spoilt during our visit to California. San Francisco showed itself from its best side with lots of sun and nice temperat...

Lombard street
The world's most crooked or crookedest street - somehow I tend up use the latter but u guess proper usage is the crookedest... In any ca...
Alcatraz island
From up there on Lombard street. Must have been crazy for these guys to have been this close to the city but not being able to get over here...
Coit Tower
Very nice views from up there
Brunch at union square
So sunny that we got a little burnt. Wanted to have cheesecake for breakfast but was convinced that proper food would be smarter...

Pretty cool cars all over
We noticed that German cars are quite popular around here anyway and so are bikes - very green city...
Very steep and crooked streets
Walking is actually quite exhausting but you get rewarded with great views...
This is also part of San Francisco ...
You see a lot more homeless people here than anywhere else I have been and certainly a lot more than in NYC... I heard it was the mild clim...
Bay Bridge and fishermen
An excellent place to fish as we learnt today. Saw someone getting a big crab and they told us a sealion had stolen their bait today :-)
Sealions
Apparently they stay here all winter (at least some of them) and they have become a big tourist attraction...
The Bridge
There she is- the most photographed bridge in the world - and we are so lucky with the weather. No fog all day... Very sunny, but a little w...

Green today as a private lighting
Apparently there's a full schedule for the color coding online - just googled Empire State and colors. Also recently learned that New Yo...
DuPont circle is a very nice neighborhood
Very European- we stayed in this amazing, very cute hotel, called 'the tabern inn' - can only recommend it! Nice view from the wind...
Nice crib
Just found out that Obama keeps following us too. Apparently he came to NY for some fundraisers this afternoon after meeting David Cameron f...

Washington monument
Apparently there was an earthquake here two years ago and the monument was damaged so they are repairing it. Still impressive how you can s...
Washington DC - really worth a trip
And with all the Smithsonian museums you could spend at least a week here and not get bored. Really, really nice place- apart from all the t...
