You're seeing some wines there that I don't see here - that Colombelle is one example. I'd really like to give it a try, but I haven't found a distributor here yet!

 

I don't want to advertise the company myself but please give Jacelyn Palacio a call at ******* She will be happy to enlighten you :D Cheers!!!!

 

Best regards,

Raintribe

Thanks, Rain, but I'm afraind this won't help me out - I'm in the SF Bay Area, not Manila and environs......OTOH, the happy news is I have access to the premier wine regions in the US!!! So all is not lost........

 

Just edited the phone number. Please see my note in the original post by Raintribe. Thanks. -Lipstick-

Halu! Yes, I have tasted Chinese red wine (Madam and Great Wall). It's rather sweetish and I would venture to say would be extremely popular with Pinoys. Personally, I prefer something dry and red.  :blush:

 

was it by any chance CCL who made you taste those wines? :D He is my unimpeachable source of info about Chinese...

well you can say it could be popular here - but only for beginners...medyo nag-mature na din yata ang wine drinkers here...most of them get turned off by sweetish wines...I mean those wines that are not supposed to taste sweetish :D

 

you prefer dry and red...well yes we also prefer voluptuous reds hehehe....

 

nice of you to drop by, miss raintribe :blush:

I was at Anthony's last Saturday to buy wines in prep for Christmas giveaways.  They had wine sampling.. They had 4 wines but only got to taste 2 - Trillo premium red wine (Argentina) and a Rostchild Mouton Cadet.

 

The Trillo is a house brand... just your typical table red wine.. dry with some tannins.  nothing significant but worth the buy for less than P200 a bottle.  I could survive with this bottle if only for a drinking wine at home or with friends.

 

The Mouton Cadet was something else...I had the pleasure of opening the bottle and letting it breathe for a few minutes.  At first taste, I knew it was special.  I did this without changing glass or eating anything to break the taste of the first wine.  I asked how much and was told it was sold at P990 per bottle.  This is really worth the buy.  What was more pleasant about the wine was that i drank it for free.

 

My basic intention was to buy a moderately priced wine which i will give to friends and relatives.

 

After drinking several glass of the Mouton, I ended up buying 2 cases of Dourthe rose.  I also bought a few bottles  Dourthe red, i forget if it was a burgundy or a bordeaux and some casillero y diablo cabs.

 

The wine tasting will continue upto the end of the month so for those planning to buy wines go to Anthony's...

 

thanks for the info, pare...gotta check out that Trillo house wine - pwede na at that price for everyday drinking...come to think of it - they were able to name that Argentine wine after themselves....

Hi! I know of a group that sells fine French wines. A bit pricier really but got a few to give out to select clients. Actually, am no expert and wanted something a bit sure. So, I just asked for a moderately priced selection from this group. They carry Colombelle 2003 which was chosen Best Buy by Wine Spectator (but if you are the snooty sort who is a "cork" guy, you probably won't like it because it's sealed with a twist cap). However, they also have Cuvee Privilege 2002, a gold medalist at the CGA Paris and a Silver medalist at Macon 04. Guess what, it's not even more than P1,000!!!!  Practically everything they carry has been validated by gourmet groups and wine masters. Ask your friends who this group is...don't want to advertise.

 

How much is the Colombelle? Medyo bihira din dito lumabas yung mga featured wines sa Wine Spectator....PM me na lang the name of the group, if it's ok with you..thanks...

I think I know why you don't want to blurt out the name of that wine outfit :D
