St Andrew's Shiraz is really nice, but a bit too expensive in HK

我有時又覺得
唔試下普通野
點會珍惜同欣賞好野

Have you consumed your Roennfeldt Road - the bottle we bartered?  If I remember correctly, it was 1997.  I have one bottle and don't know when to open.

我強烈建議下次出來食飯時開左佢

That's the thing that frustrates me.  Everythng in my cellar, according to the critics, needs another 10-25 years to cellar.  Things like Wendouree, is said to be drinkable after 25 years.  Wha ...

I bought malvasia wine once last year.

骨浪兄

你係買邊度出產o既呢?
香港我只係搵到意大利o既, 有無其他可以選擇???

hi bro 可愛老頑童

Unless I am very sure about the condition of the wine stored in the restaurant, I personally prefer BYOB (bring your own bottle) as the storage condition of restaurant are always questionable.

I have been back but will go again in 10 days' time.

If you are interested, I can bring back a bottle of Wendouree.  It sounds like great value at A$100. (which was the price a year ago).  B ...

dejavu兄

係又唔驅呀, 不過你方便先好帶喎, 如果多野拎就唔使理我架

我又覺得, 如果同一款酒而你又有幾支既話, 未熟時就開黎飲都係好既, 因為反而可以睇到支酒的變化, 到過幾年再飲又會有另一種體會嘛

kenzo

寄倉咪得囉, 唔好搵藉口唔猜酒返香港喇

OK, it's a deal - Wendouree.

Shiraz or Malbec
really look forward to this lady

but then, what should i bring???

They stocked both.  I hope they are still there.  I think Shiraz is better.  What would you suggest?

Bring something non-Australian lar nor from the New World.  Kenzo doesn't like Aussie.

i think so, shiraz should be better

French stuff for Kenzo then??  hey, kenzo, your suggestion please

GstringLover

yes, there are plenty of good choices of wine from SA, and all you said are good examples of Australian Shiraz.  i suggest trying Wendouree was because of it is a rare wine in market (or in HK) and it was highly recommended by wine writer 莊布忠, and that is the reason.  indeed, taste is very subjective and personal, perhaps i will report i hate the wine after tasting in dinner, so no need to argue too much

woo~~ you tried all those mentioned by dejavu??  so great, mind share your tasting notes or at least, let us know which years you tried?

bro dejavu

Deutz is one the most economic Champagne available in Watson's.  The quality is not too bad I think, but I have never try their vintage Champagne.  For a vintage Blanc de Blancs, it should be very elegant with style and should be a delicate one.  But I think you should cellar it for a long time in order to let her fully mature

想請教下各位前輩, 買紅酒櫃有乜好介紹? 同埋有乜嘢要注意?

hi 資深球迷2世

首先要睇下你買個櫃做乜先

1.  如果純粹放下日常飲o既酒, 咩牌子基本上都ok, 唯一係要極極極極極極少震動, 否則你o的酒一定報銷

2.  如果真係諗住自己o係屋企long term cellar, 咁就要買好少少o既牌子, 好似transthermo等比較大廠出品會好o的.  仲有千祈唔好用玻璃門, 因為要減低光線o既影響.  更重要係千祈千祈千祈唔好心癢癢手多多, 得閒就開門拎o的酒出黎睇下, 否則用乜櫃都死

3.  不過如果只係日常餐酒又唔係咩貴o野o既話, 唔用都ok

唔係喎
eurocave同vintect差不多之嘛
講貴transtherm貴好多又好好多

Kindly tell how Transtherm is 好好多 ? as comapared with Eurocave and Vintect ?

I am considering buying a Transtherm too.

可愛老頑童兄

據我的酒友講, transtherm之所以咁貴, 係佢o既設計完全係俾你一個"perfect condition for long term cellaring".  即係恆溫恆濕防震等等都係optimal level.
如果有機會可以去sogo 9 定10樓, 有信興個show room, 有transtherm 同vintec 係度可以比較.  淨睇鋼水都會見transtherm係勁d

不過又咁, 我自己覺得如果唔係真係自己cellaring (講緊起碼10年以上), 咁用乜都無乜大所謂.  parklane兄好耐之前提過大陸隻"海爾"其實都ok, 不過我搵黎搵去都搵唔到佢曾經提及o係灣仔o既showroom, 所以無緣了解

perhaps sharing more on wine and less comments on others would be the best way to keep this thread alive

and thanks kenzo, dejavu and 可愛老頑童, your wine were all perfect ones!

yes, use sauvignon blanc from NZ and Australia can be fine

but one of my personal experience was using heavy oaked chardonnay (borgogne) and indeed the buttery nose match with the stock lobster quite well, worth a try

I suggest sparkling wine, chill it to very cold, put the bottle in ice bucket and serve with oyster.  
Fr supermarket, I tried a bottle with black coloured label and black bottle, probably from  ...

yes, i would use Cava if it is a limited budget case
one brand (Christensent?  not sure but something like that) which is only selling $59 in Wellcome, worth a try

i am available any time anywhere
you all just decide and confirm with me will me

kenzo

if you bring 98 Carruades de Lafite, i will consider bringing the 95 so to make a mini-vertical tasting
