Descent to Indulgence

It's hardly to believe, but there are jobs with an even lower reputation than weapon systems engineer - lawyer is one, journalist the other.

Yesterday evening, I had to descent and pose as a journalist to enter an exclusive tasting of Argentinean wines at the five-star Park Hyatt Zurich, to which only restaurateurs, wine merchants, and wine journalist were admitted.

Nevertheless, it was completely worth the hassle. Not only the wines were of significant interest (did you ever try Patagonian wine?), also the bocadillos, which were served, the live music and the tango dancers were all well chosen.

Oh go on! Patagonia is a made-up place!

You have given an excellent impression to all the argentinean wine producers, not only because of your wine flair but because of your perfect spanisch. No one would have ever said that you are a weapon systems engineer...

Ms.Mac: Everybody I know, who has been to Patagonia, is absolutely enthusiastic about that remote part of the world. But maybe they just pretend this, because it's such a long and expensive journey...

Sounds like a fun experience. Ah patigonia - that's that place that has opposite seasons than us. And it's so famous you see trek wear with the name written all over it.
