Red wine tummy filled for the last 7 nights;

picturesque, naturesque and fantastic Fundacion Pacita
up Batanes Island, Philippines,
(will have separate write up re this site plus the spectacular nature views of this breath-taking island next post via Events)
I suddenly craved for 2 cold beers and meat to go with them.
Wanted my meat char-grilled so I raided the ref
pulled 2 slices of left-over sirloin and some bacon strips.
Though taste of wine still lingers in my palate
had to summon even half glass and use as marinade base.
