We had a really fun time, Adrienn and Evan know a bit about wine (or they are really good at faking it, haha) so we had some nice discussion about the various wines (I tried my best...). Some day I will be a wine connoisseur...haha, probably not actually. I did manage to find one region that I particularily liked the wine from, the northern part of Italy (near Switzerland and Austria), they had some really good stuff. Another hightlight was trying grappa, a kind of wine shot. It was funny because almost every place we went to they asked Adrienn for ID (but not me, woot!) which usually never happens in Europe. Most of the people there were dressed in businessy clothes...we were just in t-shirts and jeans, but it wasn't a problem. It's too bad, it would have fun to get all dressed up and be classy, hehe.
The festival ended at 10, which was probably a good thing because we were all on the verge of being drunk enough to start embarassing ourselves. We had some wine for the walk to the train station, so we spent some time just hanging around in Zurich before getting the train home. The journey home was uneventful...I don't recall anything worth mentioning, but here's some pics from the rest of the night.

You were drunk... and perhaps possibly high too, hmmm potential oh snap! Do you know AD? Well you should, assuming you already know other wacky acronyms like SCB!
So, a pretty uneventful journey home you say?! Hah! Luckily a sober Tommy was venturing home late at night in Baden and had the privilege of seeing sloshed Jacqui, the strangest of strangers (and in a pirate arrgh sense too) causing rucous (sp?!) on the streets!
Good job on the getting very drunk part!
Ahh, a wine festival. Events I, myself, have frequented many a time...Usually wearing either;
a) a Loverboy tank top, or
b) my new Hall and Oates sleeveless
I'm jealous that you were able to participate in a festival that most likely highlighted wines from the old world. Everything from Barolos to Gewurtraminers to Zinfandels. Would have been a blast indeed. I hope you can tell me more when you get home =D
