I have always bought Napa wines(Cakebread, Duckhorn, Silver Oak, etc.). A friend introduced me to Mollydooker and was very impressed with their selections.

Bumili ka ng rubbing compound sa auto supply store. Just buff slowly and the taxi's paint should come off.

Churchill's at Shangrila is a very nice place but the cigar prices are astronomical. I remember paying $45.00 for a Cohiba Siglo V and $26.00 for a Cohiba Siglo I. It's in a nice place though. Can't wait to go back there.

26 years na ako sa US pero masarap pa rin ang Pinas....I wish I could go back every year.

What is the longest amount of time that the banks can loan you money for a loan? Is it 10 ,15,20?

Who was it that said. "Life is too short to drink bad wines"????

 

Well, he was right!!!! I'll drink fewer wines, but better wines. Quality over quantity every time. I've had way too many un-memorable, or downright distasteful, wines, and not enough wines that said to me - "Now THAT's what good wine is all about!"

 

So what's on my "to drink" list??? My 1992-1996 Opus One wines. My 1995-2001 Rubicons. My 1985 Bella Vista, and 1997 Chimney Rock. My 1990 and 1992 Retzlaff and 1975 and 1985 Lynch-Bages. 1997 Cos d'Estournel. Those 1997 S.

Anderson cabs that are so smooth and velvety. And the 1998 charbonos from 20 of the last 80 acres of those vines in existence.

 

No more 2-buck-Chuck or el-cheapo "It ain't bad for the price" wines for me!!!

 

2002 Rubicon wine release party is on March 5 - and I will miss it!!!!    First one I'll miss in 6 years, but I'll be in Taiwan on business. Damn. But I will still buy a few bottles of the wine ($75/btl after my discount, but what the heck! You only live once!), just because it's one of the few really, really, really, really great wines coming out of Napa Valley these days.

Excellent post! I feel the same way. Good wines, good cigars, good food...that's how I live life. "Carpe Diem"!

See you fellow winos at my opening tomorrow night at 630pm onwards!

 

Rene Barbier Wines will be served! :cool:

From one of the sites:

 

Rene Barbier Wine was founded by a French winemaker who put up a winery in the Penedes area of Spain. Fusing the strengths and great wine characteristics of both Spanish & French wines, RENE BARBIER WINES exude a complex yet easily appreciated aroma, taste, and experience!

Best of luck!

i like port wine, especially after dinner

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Ports and rums are good especially after having a real good meal and while smoking a good cigar!

Excellent choices there! I've had the Niebaum-Coppola, Stags Leap and Grgich and they're all very good. I'm surprised at how decent the price is for Grgich Hills. I remember buying them a few years ago for $35.00 a bottle at Sam's Club.

What happens is that the clients look mainly at the conventional brands and the $$$ attached to them. It helps seal a lot of deals though.

Yeah - I don't get it either!! It's a really good wine, but $12,000?? That tells me it's not because it's a good wine, but it's a trophy wine. You know, one of those - "see what I got! I'm soooo rich I can afford to throw money away like wine!" - wines. Some people have more money than sense.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

When I take clients out for dinner, I try to stick with the brands that I've had good experience with. Favorites have always been, Far Niente, Silver Oak, Chateau Montelena, Cakebread, Duckhorn, Joseph Phelps, etc.
