Hi Kenzo, I like white wine.
What do you suggest for price lower than $500?
I prefer something from Chile or Australia.

If you pay just a little more, you should try the Leeuwin Estate Arts Series Chardonnay.

Thanks for the info.
I seldom drink wine at home. I think i first need to buy some glasses...
Is there any hints on buying them?
There are so much to learn....

The hint on getting some glasses at home is........

Join us to the wine tasting and get a Riedel, for free.  Each of us got one from last week's tasting.

Ha..so everytime I go I will get a glass, right?
I only need one...+ 2 or 3 more for my fds...

How many do you guys taste at one time? I know when you drink different kinds, it may affect y ...

To get a glass, it all depends if Brother Kenzo1111 has done his due diligence.  

How many we taste?  We drink up to the limit but not to get drunk.  It must have been over 20.

Has anyone had this year's Beaujolais Nouveau?  I had my first tonight - on Nov 16.  

It seems they are coming out earlier and earlier each year.

so early.!
let me try it tomorrow la.
good?
i want to try Moulin A Vent or St Amour, seems more complex and thicker.

Good?  As good as a Beaujolais Nouveau could be.  Can it ever be complex?

I had the Georges Duboeuf but it was kind of pricey at the restaurant.  But what the hack.  You can only have it once a year.

I like the German Ice wine most.  And the Peter Lehman too - from the 6 litre bottle of course.

707 is Cab Sau
389 is Cab Shiraz blend.
Diff to me.
I seldom drink Aus. single Cab Sau. 707 is good but too powerful to me.

And a huge difference in price too.

If you can find older Greennock Creek wine (before 1998 vintage), they are fabulous drinking now.  Current vintage will need more time.  Also, their wine maker changed since 1998 and I quite li ...

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.

No I haven't, I want to give it more bottle age.  Indeed, i find when you open a young Aus Shriaz, many of them are so similar and the baby fat just masked the true face of the wine.  The same  ...

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.  What am I going drink between now and the next ten years?

Having said that, I am on my way to Sydney tonight and see if I can pick up a 1996 and/or 1998 RR?

Brother Parklane, just out of curiosity, how many RR do you have now?

Wendouree
新加坡o既酒評人莊布忠大力推薦呢個酒莊
話係best of best in australia云云
我就未試過, 不過好有興趣試下

dejavu兄, 幾時返香港食飯呢 ...

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).  But then you have to cellar it for 25 years.

食飯 - I am ok wor when I come back in July.  The problem is, what can I bring out to drink.  Everything in my cellar are not yet drinkable.

whatever u bring out, is good to the poor guy like me..ar Tai is rich, he spends a lot for tea...hehe

Let's have fun in July!!

What the hack.  It's only A$100. Let's try the Wendouree, although brother Parklane once said "Don't kill the Baby"

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.

Yeah. These are the premium brands like you said.  But there's only one Wendouree - the best of the best and you won't easily find them in your normal bottle shop.

To dejavu2003,

Have you tried all of them? I have tried all of them and this Wendouree is good but not as you mentioned the best of the best. Penfolds RWT is much better. The best of the best A ...

Grange and Hill of Grace -They are probably one of the best.  Best of the best ?  Have you counted RR, Three Rivers, Run Rig ...........  I was also only quoting the statement from brother tailawyau about Wendouree being tbe best of the best.

The Wendouree is meant to be cellared for 25 years and not for today's consumption and we picked it to satisfy someone's curiosity and because it's a rare find.  I am happy to swap that with my stock of RWT if so desired but most people who tried RWT would prefer 707.

I have tried the Grange, but not the Hill of Grace.  But for nearly the same money as RR, the choice is clear.

There used to be a Haier showroom in Ocean Centre (somewhere next to Chung Yuen?????).  My friend bought one, and it wasn't very good as it gives out funny noises.

However, Haier is the world's (or US) best selling whitegoods and there must be a reason, although price is definitely one of them.

wow~~ sounds really worth to try wor... but my choice for daily wine is Cru Bourgeois or Rioja with better vintage, will try 407 later, in my wife's birthday party

Are you serious?  In as much as it being a good wine, you plan on having 407 on your wife's birthday?  If I were her, I would ask for a divorce.

Anyway, as a shareholder of Fosters Group, I thank you guys for choosing Penfolds and I would congratulate their marketing department for doing a great marketing job.
