One important question: that Thalys train, does it also stops at Den Haag Centraal Station, in my opinion it goes to Den Haag Holland Spoor and then to Amsterdam Centraal. Please check out, otherwise we will be divided, not be discussions about beer, hasj or prog but by train stations

!

I think it's "Den Haag Centraal Station" but i have to check, i'll tell you soon.

Yup, I think now is the time to recap the situation, with just about three weeks left.

I will try to find how to park cheaply (if possible) and close to Centraal station(iF POSSIBLE AGAIN )

However, If I need to come pick up progheads from the other station, tell me soon enough

How our BaldAngels family coming to The Hague: car or train?

Sean, how is South african's one? What about californina, australian? Never tried any of it.

South African (SA) wines are not to my tastes, unfortunately

Whites: Pinotage and chardonnays, but I think that chardonnays are generally the easiest of white wines , but the SA wineries mlake it difficult for taste buds>> most are acidic

Reds: never drunk a red SA wine with a real body and lots of matter.

Without attempting to hurt anyone, from my observations,

the average Dutchman is a beer drinker (and a solid one too), but Wine is seen as artsy and trendy, so those drinking it are generally acute/sharp-minded people with a desire to be distinguished from the mass. However, one gets the feeling (from the average bottle sold in Holland), that wine is strictly a cult or social status. So generally the Dutch will turn to what they consider their closest cultural relatives: South Africa via the Boers/Afrikaaners link

All wine outlets (big or small) catter around the same products. Just under half the wines (around 45%) in specialized shops and supermarket shelves are from S Africa. Australia is around 20%, European (It, Fr, Esp) around 20% and US-Chili is the rest 15%. The prices are hefty for the quality also , especially compared to Belgium (which is a similar beer drinking and non-wine producing country).

Thanks for that polychromic gastro-sociological analysis!

Beer, please
