madalas ako sa Food Channel. yun ang malapit ng shawarma samin e saka consistent ang lasa nya, unlike sa iba na minsan masarap minsan hindi at parang papel yung beef minsan.

masyado sila minsan pa obvious na galing sila sa tate, japan, uae, etc... like i care? ...i've met some customers na kala mo e kung sino. ..kakatawa lang talaga sila. napapa taas na lang kilay ko. kausapin ba naman ng english ang kargador namin..hello?? e sympre pa smile smile lang tong kargador namin at magtatagalog minsan...tapos marunong naman pala mag tagalog, ay sus! buti pa minsan ibang foreigners e nagtatagalog.

my cousins lived in canada for like 10 years na pero pag nagkikita kami or usap sa phone e tagalog din, wala syang accent. even my siblings mag 2 yrs palang...walang arte sa pagsalita. altho' d mo ma blame yung iba kc don na pinaganak at lumaki e, so talagang slang na.

As the name of the thread implies, lots of winos here. And some who, like you, cannot drink much if at all, but like to live vicariously. So we exchange nots and try to describe the wines to each other. And talk about how wine is made, how to appreciate it, how to store it, etc. So - welcome to the group and I hope this leads to more and better appreciation of wine for you. Since you can't drink as much as some of us, then perhaps you should look at wines that you can get in splits (half-bottles). Most wines are bottled this way in addition to the normal bottle sizes, but not all are available everywhere.

 

Not familiar with Cono Sur but it sounds suspiciously like a made-up name (does it sound like "connoiseur"?? Hmmmmm......  ). Tell us more. Where's it from? What's it like? What flavors do you taste?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

tnx agso...i actually have idea how wine is made, store, taste of some grape variety but just the famous ones..true, it's hard to find half bottle wines and they are more expensive. so i'd rather buy a regular bottle and i can always give it away to my mom or other ppl if i couldn't consume the whole bottle...masaya pa sila

Cono Sur is from Chile...it's a subsidiary of Concha Y Toro. bago lang sya 1990s lang sya nag start....for the taste? ...i really dunno how to explain the taste...uhm, the tannins isn't that strong, smooth sya and has a long finish. flavors? i don't know what flavor d ako marunong pano detect wat fruit/herbs e... i prefer merlot actually but this one (Cono Sur ORganic wine) is a cabernet sauv/carmenere, nagustuhan ko din kahit cabernet..natatapangan kc ako usually sa cab sauv. mga 500+ ito.

i love vanilla chocolate, choco with mint, butterscotch.

am surprised to see lots of infos abt wine here. am not really a wine drinker but my friend owns a wine shop and sometimes i drink a little, tambay ako minsan sa kanila.....am just curious what's the taste difference of wines coming from france, chile, spain, italy, australia, etc?...coz some ppl prefer one country from the other, while some hate wines from the other countries. i noticed some asians prefer wines from france while the europeans, americans prefer australian, chilean n some of them dont like french. but for me, they all taste the same

actually, they have lots of cheap wines as well as premium to high-end wines...the cheap wines are table wines mostly from spain n a few chilean wines as well (they're located at market! market!) the cheap wine sells really good (below P200)....i know they're not exactly a good wine but many ppl talaga binabalikan yun...even foreigners! (chika ng mga tindera dun) i guess kanya kanyang taste buds na lang cguro yan.... some customers wud ask w/c is a good wine (kakalito nga sa dami) tapos he wud show them high-end wines,but they wouldn't like the price so step down sympre sa medyo mura...kaloka minsan...wala kc free taste e.

...so far nagustuhan ko e yung Cono Sur oRganic wine, it's a combination of cab. sauv and carmenere. i didnt get a headache here....normally kc when i drink, my face wud go really red n i wud get a headache after...less than half glass lang yun ha. i can't finish half glass of wine. ...saka bilib ako when a person can described the wine he/she drinks coz i duno how to describe them or explain.
