You never know

I was pleased to find a decent l’Entrecôte restaurant in east Berlin around the corner from where I was staying.

I ordered what looked like it might be a promising little Côte de Rhône. Somewhat to my chagrin, a bottle of Côte de Beaune showed up instead. Which turned out to be delightful.

Hautes-Côtes De Beaune 2005
“Clos De La Perrière”
Domaine Parigot Père et Fils
Meloisey

Which just goes to show that what you ask for has little to do with what’s actually going to work with the meal you’re having.

Deutsche Bahn gets it right

Images on the German railways travel information site:

Options for travellers from Germany:

Options for travellers from outside Europe:
two well dressed frauen

Options for travellers from elsewhere in Europe:
some poor helpless backpacker bum

Nice to see them getting their priorities straight. :)
