Well... I'm still in the US, and on this trip I mostly just get a Budweiser or Modelo when I want a beer. I feel like I don't need to make a scene about the beer I drink, because a beer is a beer... I also enjoyed Coors Banquet a lot.

Wines are a different matter. In the Oregon vineyards I've had some of the best pinots I've ever tasted, much better than the pinots I've had in France. One of the best things on this trip was our day of tastings in the different wineries.

I figured as much. Just wanted to give some suggestions if you ever were interested in going down that route again.

Being less than couple hours from Napa Valley, I do definitely get the appeal of a good wine though. I, myself prefer them over beer in most cases too.
