let's build another thread here!!
any summer wine recently?
I like NZ Sau. Blanc and German Riesling.

Lynch Bage 97 should be very open and direct now. Since 97 is not a very successful vantigae, don't expect it can compare with 00 even 95 or 96,  however, the price is very reasonable and ready to drink.
I personally will suggest 97 or  99 for immediate drinking.

enjoy it.

WEllcome!!!
big brother EVO8!!!
long time no see.............

Mr Lee Ki, just enjoy the wine.. no need to know too much and it wastes lots lots lots of money.....but i love to..hehe

好野! 有高人指路，入嚟學下野先~~~
請問一百蚊左右有無好介紹？

ha, i am not tall at all and only have 178cm tall...
for the wine around $100....
my choice is all in Park'n shop
Montgras, Los Vasco when on sale...from 138 to $88
Also, the from wine called "Alguilhe" its second wine sale from 149 to $99. only available in superstore. MUST BUY!!!
Also, the Chilean wine called Sunrise, its Cab Sau is the recommendation for 250 wine available in Asia, the best one in the low price category.
Read this Book and available in bookstore even library.
In Watson's wine cellar, i think Aust, Paringa is one of the best buy for daily drinking.  It is not easy to find good French wine under $100 ga la.  Southern France such as Cote de Rhone may have some good stuff.
try an error la.

No one said we only focus on French wine...
just a place to share experience..better no promotion la.
I have many wine sales friends

they are watching it but never sell things here.
We all have our ideas to buy wine. I like Italian and Spanish wine also and some Washington, NZ and Aust focus on Western AUst

ok, thx for your honesty,  just too new too us, GREEK, theoretically can have good wine if the technology can match such a good climate. Hot, dry and sunny. just like Italy

Jacob's Creek's sparkling is good.
Others, u can have many other choices.
Such as Durius from Spain. Excellent and on sale $69 only. Worth as the Spanish wine of $150..

don't know ar, deju,easy to find him in investment thread.
me, silent recently,
without u, very dry ar, ar Tai.

Lower than $500?
Chile or Australia  white wine can be very pleasant even if u pay only under 200.
For gal, i like German resling kabinet or Spatlase. Around 200 to 300, very good and pleasant. Very charming.

Also, any Gurwerstraminer can be good too. Best from south france such as
ALsace.  

I also like New Zealand Sauvignon blanc. Clouldy Bay or Osyter Bay are good choice.  

For Austrilian wine, choose Western Austrilian, Voctoria, Claire Valley wine.

I personally have less idea about Chilean white. sorry

Leeuwin Art series Chadonnay probably the best white in Aussie although i have no chance to try it.  The price is not expensive and money for value


by the way, wellcome our first gal in this thread and that is good to have gathering wine dinner later.
I will try my best to arrange.

i keep the cork of the fine wine only.

For the glasses, Better buy Riedel or Schott.  Ask the sales in wine shop such as Watson's or Ponti..

That is just the first 500 tickets with free glass last time from Watson's wine cellar and we were the lucky one to get it.

Girl, spend some money to buy a Bordeaux first. For Schott, it is only about 100.  
Last time i have tasted over 50, haha, affecting the taste? better than nothing
to taste.  taste from white to red, rinse mouth every time,that is fine.

u need a basic wine course woh.
haha, come out and let me teach u.
Buy a book for new drinker or goto library to borrow one.
Need to know the main wine type, red, white, champaigne, dessert wine...
then how to desribe the taste,
First of all, know the grape types.
Then, know the taste of the main grapes. Cabinet sauvignon, merlot, shiraz,
pinot noir, melbec,....
For the white: chadonnay, sauvignon blanc, riesling, semillon, gwerustaminer, pinot gris....
then know the countries
Old world{ French, Italian, Spanish. German.....
New world{ US, Aussie, Chilean, NZ, Argentina,
then draw into details into France, Italian, Aussie, US...as u like.
need to know what is champaigne.  
SO complicated, rite?
ANyway, drink more and  u will know more...no need to be too theoretical.
Interested to join our gathering?

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

Rare and Fine wine price is not high already.  If in Watson's, price must be      higher.  

ar Tai,
first gal ar ma, more inspiration to us ar..hehe..

Parklane
I tasted an old bottle of burgundy at the corner of the hall..it is the 1985 vintage.  Onyl few bottles at the beginning. I tried it twice.
I was disappointed by all the Bordeaux this time.  I like the Delas Cote rotie.  The Italian wine, Spanish Chivite gran reserva and all the German wine esp the eiswien and Tba.  very impressive.

i did not.  By the way, there is a new supermarket called THREE SIXTY in Landmark Central. SO many organic wine and so less popular but very good wine from Loire, France, Aussie and NZ. If have time, worthy going for a look.

ask the sales, they have very good chenin Blanc.

wellcome amoureix,  Troplong Mondot is one of my favorite. Not very expensive. Med. body with its unique smokey taste.  
Also, I think Champaigne is also a perfect match with oyster.  I personally seldom touch new world Chadonnay except Western Aussie and Washington. US
all u list are good for oyster. For Chablis, buy the grand Cru with little more money.
Don't forget Sancere and Muscadet Ser lie.
More suggestion : Gewruztraminer for Thai or Vietman food.

DeeTsang is higher ranked than most of us.  A master!

Penfold St Henri's 2002 has got 95 pts by James Holliday. watch it!

For mutton, southern france is a good choice such as Cheateauneuf de Pape and Cote de Rhone Village.

Columbia crest Grande Estate Chardonnay.
Very good in Dry Washington area. Burgundy like.

Tai gor,
Columbia Crest grande estate chardonnay is only about 150 and even 120 on ssales in Watson's. It is always the top 50 of Wine Spectator.
Everybody knows Merseult or Montrachet is good ar....money money money..

Happy new year!!!
hope u all get drunk in 2007 .....beside a pretty gal!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah!!!!!!!!!

Tai gor,
De Fonbel is very good already for a beginner la.
05605489, u know, we are not young and few quota left for wine, Tai gor
always has good stuff ga.

可愛老頑童 , wellcome!!!
thanks for reminding me to update more!!!
hope to see u all guys more.

it depends...that is!
to me, value for money!
to ar Tai,  pretty gals and fine wine.
