Hello guys and gals. Just curious if anyone has tried the Ice Wine from Canada?

 

" Grapes are left on the vine well into the winter months. The resulting freezing and thawing of the grapes dehydrates the fruit, and concentrates the sugars, acids, and extracts in the berries, thereby intensifying the flavours and adding complexity to the wine made from it."

for a while there I thought I was reading some purple prose :P

Ikaw naman, except for the usual suspects (like Franzia, Carlo Rossi, Florillon, etc) I will drink almost anything lalo na if it comes from the fruit of the vineyard...I will try anything new :rolleyes:

 

2 bottles? so magnanimous of you...siguro I'll also bring 2 - that makes 4 bottles plus maybe they'll also bring theirs - it will be a lush evening :P 

 

p.s. the confluence of the mole, lips and tongue might have been something to inspire Neruda.... :blush:

 

Haha I think that must be the effect of Neruda on my wine :lol: Hey, have you had an interesting drop lately that you reckon I might enjoy as well?

 

Am bringing 2 bottles because akin yung isang bote! :lol: They bloody better make sure they bring a bottle each!!!! And I do so love the word Lush ... lush as the berry liquid that flows from the canticle, lush as the lips that laces itself with the liquid of love ... lusciously ... lush. ;)

 

p.s. haha you flatter me too much! I would've loved to have Neruda make mad love to my lips with his words. :blush:

hahaha....

 

it's quite wonderful how lush rhymes with gush, and how very near it is to gash......lush....lips......lace.....liquid....gush........gash........alliterat

on that dances on the pinhead of impure visions :blush:

 

I am partial to Aussie wine, particularly shiraz, so my wines of choice rarely veer away from these.

Try the Brookland Valley (Margaret River din ito) and if you want something from the hotter climes in Oz, the Grant Burge is a safe bet.

 

p.s. simple flattery would not have done justice to the image in your avatar, maybe not even Neruda's magical words :blush:

Bods, congrats...this thread has prospered and evolved from mere exchanges of views about the tastes and tannins of an infinite variety of wines to dissections and discussions of Neruda's lines. I hope to be joining your wine EBs soon, pare...I am wondering what bottle I should get here...

 

pare it's because there's a Neruda thread here somewhere and it kinda seeped somehow into this thread...something like the wine seeping through the cork :P

 

there's been no wine EB yet - what they had was a Neruda reading-cum-wine sipping thingy...I guess that would interest you more....

 

welcome back, pare - I hope to see you soon...

Hahahaha Bods, yes itago natin kung saang village nakatira si Z sa pangalang Valle Verde Ek. :lol:

 

I wonder if Z still has that bottle of Margaret River wine he promised me a 6 months ago :blink:  Failing that, yes let's drink your drop! :lol:  Haha a seasoned wine reviewer I am not, I think I just know what I like in my wines and am just describing it based on the texture and taste in my mouth. :P  But I do love the word lush ... without the lisp. ;)

 

Wine and Neruda go very well together.  :) 

 

p.s. if the shot was any deeper, you would see what i had for brekkie! :lol:  Cheers!

 

Yeah, I live in some green valley :lol:

 

Sorry folks but there is definitely no Margaret River wine left and an uncertain future supply given that I resigned from my company. I'm unavailable on May 11 but am good for the 12th. I'm just a sms away.

sayang pare, I miss that Watervale :P

anyway, the bottle I'd be bringing is from Margaret River - remember that wine we drank before?

hey guys - read this just now...

 

a new device has been invented by 2 French wine experts in the Burgundy region to treat corked wines.

It acts as some sort of magnet whose electrostatic charge is used to draw away the molecule that causes the unpleasant taste in corked wine.

 

It consists of a synthetic material over which you pour the damaged wine in a carafe.

 

Within an hour, it is claimed that the unpleasant taste disappears and the wine can be drank as normal.

 

However the kit costs 40 euros (51 dollars) and it comes with two free filters. Replacement filters cost 5 euros each.

 

So the news article ends by saying "Cheaper bottles (corked ones) - in other words - will continue to be poured down the sink." :P
