Hi Kenzo, I like white wine.
What do you suggest for price lower than $500?
I prefer something from Chile or Australia. [/quote]
Hi! This's Kathy and about white wine from Australia, I'd highly recommend Yattana, Panfolds but bit more expensive; besides, Chateau Fairview, Chadonnay, South Africa's the best choice also, and Domaine Laroche, Chablis 2003......:P:P

Beautiful Boy, by John Lennon, just remind me that's a song I hummed quite often for my son. Well.....he's goin' to 9 and goin' bigger day by day. I do like hold his little hand and play him a song, Waltz of Spring, by pinao..........Well....I dun think the best I tried's Screaming Eagle, and not the top of my list, simply sayin' Silver Oak's much more better, at least the price's what I can afford....:P:P

My 2 cents: I would bring a dry Riesling white (e.g. from Alsace), and a Bordeaux red.

有無budget? 幾多人食? 預飲幾多支?
in general, i'd recommend:
頭盤:
German Riesling Spatlese (因高酸度同微甜可配合糖醋茄子、酸甜小黃瓜)
Bordeaux white (草青及鮮果配芹菜蝦干)
Beaujolais (light red for 薰魚、素鵝、烤麩)
主菜:
NZ Sauvignon Blanc (acidity and fruitiness for 碧綠金菇卷, 松子海斑魚, 蒜香法國豆)
Chablis 1er Cru (for 毛豆年糕炒大花蟹或海虾)
Bordeaux red (for 紅燒元蹄)
甜品:
Moscato d'Asti (花香拼桂花酒釀)
小小意見, 大家參考下, 俾下意見:bow:

>> [color=Red]if u can buy 2005 German Riesling, Kabinnet is still enough sweetness and acidity, such as JJ Prum[/color]Bordeaux white (草青及鮮果配芹菜蝦干)--> [color=Red]good choice! also Lorie valley [/color]
Beaujolais (light red for )薰魚、素鵝、烤麩>> [color=Red]since the 薰魚、烤麩 are quite sweet, i think choose Moulin A Vent or St Amour also are good! How about Croze Hermitage? [/color]
主菜:
NZ Sauvignon Blanc (acidity and fruitiness for 碧綠金菇卷, 松子海斑魚, 蒜香法國豆) [color=Red]Champagne is also good ar!! I like to try Louis Roderer Premier or Vintage VCP.[/color]Chablis 1er Cru (for 毛豆年糕炒大花蟹或海虾) Perfect!
Bordeaux red (for 紅燒元蹄) [color=Red]Good la!! i like those big wine with it.[/color]
甜品:
Moscato d'Asti (花香拼桂花酒釀) [color=Red]What can i ask for more? [/color]all are my shallow experienced choice too:P
資深球迷2世 2008-3-18 23:04
多謝三位前輩, 真的很詳盡呢~~ 的確, 我的問題也真的不夠仔細, 現再將範圍縮窄一點, 這個菜單供十三人食用, 飲酒的只是其中十人, 假設只能往超市, 例如百 x, 惠 x 及吉 x 島買酒, 每支售價在一百五十元以下, 又該如何選酒?
kenzo1111 2008-3-19 00:16
頭盤:
German Riesling Spatlese (因高酸度同微甜可配合糖醋茄子、酸甜小黃瓜)
>> then buy a German or Alsace Riesling, price should be under 150.
Bordeaux white (草青及鮮果配芹菜蝦干)--> still ok for basic Bordeaux white, price within budget
Beaujolais (light red for )薰魚、素鵝、烤麩>> Or Rose, there is a Bordeaux Rose in WelCxmx, u can check it. Of COurse Beaujolais is a good choice and must be about 100 only in Supermarket
主菜:
NZ Sauvignon Blanc (acidity and fruitiness for 碧綠金菇卷, 松子海斑魚, 蒜香法國豆) buy a bottle of Champagne in WelCxme la, Mumm is not expensive, about 250. Otherwise, buy a bottle of Alsace sparkling wine from Park'n, about 130 only.
.Chablis 1er Cru (for 毛豆年糕炒大花蟹或海虾) in supermarket, u can buy the Aust Chardonnay as an alternative.
Bordeaux red (for 紅燒元蹄) u still can find good Bordeaux red in ParkX shop within your budget such as Ch. D'Arcin or Ch. Sainte Colombe.
enjoy your wine dinner!! for 10 people, but 2 bottles for each wine should be more than enough.
甜品:
Moscato d'Asti (花香拼桂花酒釀) What can i ask for more? all are my shallow experienced choice too

超市其實都好多選擇
近期百佳都好多中下價選擇
好似villa loosen, montgras, Evans & Tate Salisbury, Cracker Jack等等都可以一試
酒數方面
除非十位飲者都極飲得
否則用75% rule, 即係人數 x 75%就足夠
你個case飲八支應該啱啱好

OK, I am going to clean up their Wendouree. Have to wait until tomorrow though, as Australia is like a ghost town today. Only shops that open are some Chinese eateries and they are all full.

with 0% tax, we can try something different, I believe there are some less known winery that make good wines between A$50-A$100, they have good QPR and are rare in hk.

actually, best way for buying Aussie wine in terms of "investment" should follow the Langton's Classification, the top two tiers (Exceptional & Outstanding) are very good no matter for tasting or for cellaring and investing
rare wines like Giaconda, Cullen and some other emerging ones are nice for consideration
