Nothing beats a good bitter.
Though I may have brought in five successful zinfandel grape harvests from my vineyard in years past, I confess wine does nothing for me. I like the gross profit margins of the growing business but do not care to consume the product.
No, when it comes to a favorite dinner drink, a nice pint of warm English beer hits the spot chez Pindelski. This snap is from the nautically themed Crown and Anchor pub in Monterey, a town I became familiar with when my wife was attending the International Language School there a few years back.

The city of Monterey may be distinguished by some of the worst summer weather on the California coast and maybe that’s why it is such a magnet for expatriate Englishmen. I don’t miss the weather but I do miss a good pint and there are several English pubs in the town.
If you are there, make sure to check Camera West, an old line camera store just around the corner from the Crown and Anchor. If film gear is your thing, be it Leicas or Nikon rangefinders (a huge selection of both), medium or large format, there’s a good chance you will find what you want at this collectors’ emporium.
