missmanners Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 magnum's a good idea. although i would prefer to go there on a weeknight instead of a weekend. the weekend greenbelt crowd leaves much to be desired. so sure. nuvo's good as well. let me know. Quote Link to comment

masi Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 sorry double post - board acting up again pareng masi - can you enlighten us on these wine flights?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> basically its a sampling of different wines but it could be modified to a single variety of grape of different wine makers or regions. i haven't tried flights here in magnum yet though... maybe it's worth a try for the eb. am ok except on weekends (Sat/Sun)... especially early evening.

I myself haven't had one - just read of it.... In the States, wine bars offer wine flights of 2- to 3- ounce servings of about 4 wines - usually of one varietal ("Fat, Chewy Cabernets") - for about $15. Are we good on a Friday, or a Thursday?

I see some Penfolds in Landmark and Cash & Carry but if you want nicely-stored Penfolds (groceries are a little iffy when it comes to storage), you go directly to Anthony's, which is their distributor here...

Hope it was fun, I was all the way in Ortigas and couldn't make it back to Makati anymore. How about scheduling another one at Cyrano Wine Bar? Quote Link to comment
masi Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Finally, Bods and I had our initial EB at Magnun last night. We had great fun talking, of course, about wines and what got us into appreciating it. We, well I got to try 2 shiraz/syrah while Bods took 2 glasses of a syrah. Yellow Tail Shiraz 2004 (Australia) - Mid to dark carmine color; moderate vanilla to moderately rich caramel scent; taste was sharp and spicy with mildly strong tannins (maybe attributable to it being young. moderate to moderately strong oak finish (again, a young wine characteristic, i hope). Lacking follow thru that you would expect from a Shiraz. Calitera 2000, Syrah (Chile) - Mid to dark carmine color; Blend of berries rich enough to be distinct to the nose (it created an sense of anticipation); medium body with rich berries (a confirmation!) with a tinge of oak at the end (just enough to be distinct); moderate to the palate. Age does care for wines. The essence of the evening, was the great fun we both had. Looking forward to the next activity!!! Quote Link to comment
