French wines

On Tuesday night, after another eight hours of classes, we had a special event where a wine specialist told us about all the wine-growing regions of France, and then we degustated five different wines, taking notes about their appearance, bouquet and taste.

After that, I found it to be the suitable hour of being in the city at the time when the restaurants are already opened for dinner. So I had a lunch of a chef's seafood special, and judging by the waiting time (and that it took about fifteen minutes more after the waitress had told me that it would be ready in just two more minutes) it was excellent. By the taste as well, of course.

Knowing that I still had piles of homework to do, I drank only mineral water, and as I arrived to the restaurant with two small degustating glasses and three more sips of wine in my body, I could have been the first person in the restaurant's history who left it in a less inebriated state than he came.
