we are exceeding the limit and I need to check with the restaurant.  They said it's very tight at 16.   However, there would be fallouts as usual.

Am I missing anybody?

God knows what u will bring to us............1990 should be a good yr........

i ain't got no 1990 left la.  I only owned one 1990 in my life and that was a 707 and was consumed exactly 6 years ago, on my birthday.

DJV was talking about La Chapelle 1990 ar, not 2001.

1990 is drinkable now, but still has many years to improve.  RP estimates its life to 2050 !!

Mind sharing that with me in 2050?  I try to stay healthy and that's why I am going to the gym.

This is way too young, last time we tried it, it did not open up at all, even after the party was over 3 to 4 hours later !

I'd bring a La Chapelle 1988 (RP92) and a La Petite Chapelle 2001.

Hey, one bottle is enough la.  Oncologist is gonna tell you to drink in moderation.

原帖由 可愛老頑童 於 2007-12-13 12:08 PM 發表


2 bottles is already moderation for me and my wife la !!  

Revised list:
Jaboulet La Chapelle 1988
Mount Mary Quintet 1999

sounds like I have to pull out the Jaboulet La Chapelle 2001 for vertical tasting.  Am I killing the baby?

Sounds like a not-too-bad wine tasting.  I think we can still book now.

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

I hope I have not misled you.  I said I'll buy another one for you next time at D.M.  The one I last bought @ such a ridiculous price is for me la.  I just hope that the price on your next bottle is just as ridiculous.

Brother dejavu, I think some ladies may not like too meaty, you could include the Salmon or Cod in the main course selection and you make decision for other choices la.

OK, here's my pick.  好一餐,唔好又一餐。


Baby spinach…..
Pan-fried scallop with French bean salad

Prawn bisque
Foie gras

Roasted black cod
Filet of beef

Crème Brulee
Chocolate mousse cake

可愛老頑童, are your friends coming?

It's so close to CNY and I am sure there will be dropouts as people might be traveling, family commitments, etc.

I can assure you there will be at least 1 dropout from my friends.

Merry Christmas to all brothers! May your liver be mechanical and wish you enjoy more & more good wines in the coming year!

Merry Christmas to all.  

It was very DRY here in BKK - there's an ALCOHOL BAN here on Dec 22 and 23 till midnight because of the election.  This is the first time I went to the steakhouse and only had a San Pellegrino to go with the food.

January gathering at Mirepoix
_______________________

As you know, I have already booked Jan 30 (Wed), but since it is so close to Chinese New Year, some of us might be tied up with family functions.   I wonder if it's a good idea to move it up to Jan 25 (FRIDAY).  

Since I already informed you guys the Jan 30 date, it would be unfair to change.  If I do not have unaminous agreement of the change, I will leave it at Jan 30.  Meanwhile, both dates have been reserved for us.

It would be fine for me on both date, just follow the majority's move.  Thanks Bro Dejavu.

How about another gathering before 30th?

Another gathering?  Sounds good.  Any day after Jan 12 is a party day.
