Bad news.  11/8 (Thur)  is full - someone 包廳。 So not even the 大堂 on the 4/F. I have tentatively book 11/7 (Wed).  Minimum charge is $4,800 plus service charge.

Let me know if this date doesn't suit you.  I oriiginally booked 11/9 (Fri).

have to ask my 3 friends, i have no problem. 7/11 is fine for me

To dejavu2003, thank you very much for ur arrangment. 7 Nov is fine for me. For your blood pressure problem, drinking moderate amount of wine may protect from heart disease, but it does not lower BP.

how are u oncologist....yr name is so cool...!

Then let me ask my other 2 friends and then will confirm u asap.

I'm ok on 7/11. Thanks.

sorry, I am not available on both 7 & 9/11
please go ahead if majority prefers the day
i can join in the next round

Let's do it the following week.  What about 11/13,14,15.  It works better for me as I still have a guest in town during the week of 11/5.

Alternatively, we can stick to 11/8 but be on the 2/F or 3/F.

Anyone familiar with Glenfiddich.

Is the 18 years a good enough gift for someone's 60th birthday?  Where can I buy it cheap?

i am member, anyone want to reserve ticket?

Glenfiddich is not very popular in HK, I have just tried their 18yr single malt, which is rather forward and expressive, lack of the roundness and smoothness in other single malt whiskey like McCallen, but should be welcome by scotch lovers as they comment McCallen is too commercial and Glenfiddich is with more personality.  I once heard from my friend that Glenfiddich 30yr is very very outstanding one, but it cost $$$$$$

I probably can't afford the 30 years, but out of curiosity, how much is it, or is it available in HK?

Does WXtson carry the 18 years?  I need that next Monday.

I believe 30 yrs should be about $3k.

For 18 yrs, Soho Wines and Spirits selling it at $850
