Thanks !  I promise I won't smoke cigars infront of you or, while you are there.

But then what am I going to do with my Cohiba?

Wow! A big group this time, is the table large enough for 14 peoples ?

It is manageable though a little bit cramped.  But it's OK.

Me too.

One of my favorite Northern Rhone wines.

Was it ready to drink right after opening ?  Have you also tried La Petit Chapelle ?

I do have a Paul Jaboulet Aine Hermitage La Chapelle 2001 which is not a bad vintage.

I think you can attach a pdf file with your message if the file size is less than 600K.

I tried to convert the revised menu from a TIF file into PDF but forgot how to do it.  And my IT manager is on vacation this week.  If I can't fix it tomorrow, can I email you the TIF file to post the menu here?

Yes, of course. I have sent you short message about my email address.

I sent you the TIFF file and if you need a PDF, I'll try again tomorrow.  But somehow, I never managed to attach a PDF file to this forum.

我地越食越豪, 真係大鑊!!  

都係一個數字也罷。

Can we make sure that we tell all the friends that we bring along.

I should be there by 7:30 but the room is available anytime.

Especially those representing the legal sector and pharmaceutical sector.

Any one told Ah Tai?

如果成晚齋shiraz好似有d悶喎
不如就好似barton咁講
「新舊世界對對碰」
用葡萄/style做對比

即係例如:
Red Wine
Bordeaux blend (Cab Sau, Merlot, Cab Franc, etc.)
Rhone style (Syrah, Grenache, et ...

I am going to Dan Murphy tomorrow.

yes, please try to search some good things. Is there still any W available?

At Dan Murphy, I didn't ask but I only saw the Shiraz blend available at under $100.  My friend's shop got one 2000 Shiraz left and last time (late Sep) he priced it at around $150/160 but this time it's priced at $200.  That's ridiculous.

I bought a 1998 Greenock Creek RR Shiraz.

Oh, that's another real good thing! just can't bring much back....

I probably could.  But I still have 2 Lafite 2004, a Torbreck Les Amis, a W, all stranded at home and I can't bring them together with the RR as I might have to pay heavy duty on them at HK customs.  Still try to figure out the best option.

Is there any place where I can sell the RR in HK?  At a good price of course.

there are 4 ways you may sell your wine at better price:
1. Sell it at Yahoo auction.
2. Ask for sell at some famous drinker's blog if you know one.
3. If you have good relationship with a wine ...

Be my agent, and I pay you a commission.

80% of market price ain't bad.

Hill of Grace is selling at Dan Murphy at ridiculously high price compared to a few years ago.

Barton brother,

How much is 80% ?  I may buy it from DJV through you.

I'll buy another one for you next time at D.M. at cost. No need to buy from me.

Dejavu 兄，你真好！  謝謝！   

I hope the cost is right and the shop hasn't noticed the problem.

We may go to Mirepoix for our next gathering.

They now changed the format to private party only and we could have a nice dinner party in a cosy environment.  

It probably costs us the same as the one in Chaiwan.  Min. charge outside of Dec is $6,000 but we probably would exceed that anyway.

Mirepox is a nice place with descent food and good service. (haha, unfortunately, My hill of grace hasn't still arrived yet)  Really looking forward to our next wine and dine gathering.

How does Jan 30 (Wed) sound?  Being a busy month, I might need to make the reservation soon.

Brother Barton, did you get my email on the Mirepoix menu?

原帖由 barton 於 2007-12-7 10:11 AM 發表
I'm OK. It's also a good time to celebrate Chinese new year beforehand.

Yeah. That's another good reason to have this gathering.

I was asking that you post the menu here so that others can comment.  Can you do that?  Thanks.

sure, just send to me when you get it.

I did send it to your email address a few days ago.  A Word file.

Could Kenzo, Oncologist, Barton, ah Tai, Lovely Old Playboy, ... confirm their availability on Jan 30 & the # of guests.  

Since max is 14 (and we can stretch it to 16), we can't take on more guests from last time unless there's a drop out.   I am bringing one more guest, hehe.   All men are equal but I think I am more equal than the others since I am making the booking.

The venue is held for us for a day or two.  We need to confirm by Friday and deposit someone's RP100 wine.
