Hi! it's nice to read this thread! It's good place to share!

I'm a wine lover, but I'm only a beginner, hope bros won't mind. I'm not rich, the price range I've tried is HKD 50-1900 - the cheapest one is 1996 長城干紅 Cab Sau., the $1900 is a 1989 Lynch Bages. And I always drink alone, a.k.a less varieties I've tried.

I'd like to share 2 very interesting experience just happened recently: I had a bottle of Las Vacos Reserve 1998 with 打邊爐, at the beginning it's nothing special, but during the middle of the meal, I found the "pairing" is so wonderful! I found out it's the Las Vacos Reserve and the 辣椒豉油, they just match so good!

Anothe experience is Penfold St. Henri Shiraz 2001 with 大排檔 黑椒羊鞍煲, I like Shiraz with 羊腩 for long time, but this time, the Shiraz with 羊鞍煲 is just exceed my expectation. Worth a try.

BTW, I'll have 避風塘炒蟹 with friends a few days later, I'm thinking of pair it with a sparkling wine - light to medium bodied, well balance of 甜酸度, I haven't tried this before, is it a good idea? Any recommendation?

95正!

I liked Lynch Bages, too, it's an all time favourite when dinning with biz friends, vintage I've tried: 89, 94, 96, 97, 99, 2000, they're very consistant and 96' 00' are outstanding, but too bad they're becoming over-priced now, 五級酒莊, 2級價錢! then I switched to Montrose, Les Fort du Latour.

I once follow the recommendation from Dee's blog, tried a JJ McWlliam's Cab Sau 2004 from Park'n shop, $99@, very enjoyable, very strict and no-nonsense, but when I try the Melot and CMS, that's another story.

BTW, 你地鐘意睇"神之水滴"嗎?

One more question: What's your favourite wine with oyster? Chablis? Chardonnay? Pouilly Fuisse? Others? I'd tried many but haven't found my favourite yet, any comment?
