Had a Neibaum Coppola Blancaneaux 2001 last night. Blancaneaux is a white Bordeaux-style blend of chardonnay, viognier, roussanne and marsanne, all grapes estate-grown. Great mouth-feel, almost red-like in body. An intriguing blend of flavors - apple and pear, ginger, peach and other stone fruit, all coming through at one phase or another. Nice acitity to hold it together, a bit of butter for mouth-feel, and some nice mineral, earth tones. A great wine with Mediterreanean flavors but should also go well with Asian flavors of spice and peppers. Definitely a keeper, and one of the rare whites I wholeheartedly recommend. Perhaps not a wine for beginners, perhaps since it is absolutely bone-dry, despite the fruitiness the viognier imparts.

 

 

seems so complex with the entire spectrum of fruits of the different seasons peach, pear, apples just like late spring, summer, late summer to early fall. coupled with the bite of ginger and pepper and the natural tones of the earth and minerals. WOW!!!

yeah Ms Lipstick - too bad I wasnt able to come and meet them last friday...was down with flu. :(

Ms HBC! Looks like that flu has been transferred to me. Tonight I am suffering from this really really nasty cold. I don't know if its the stress of this workshop I am attending or me just missing home and someone OR ... the lack of alcohol? :blink:

 

:lol:

 

excuse me, I am unholy, but I hate to admit that I am not as eloquent as the two gentlemen when describing a wine....when sipping great wine my prose falls short, much like I fear my words might be inadequate when I finally get to meet you... :rolleyes:

Oh boy, we really are rakin' those awards in by the dozens eh Bods? :lol:

 

you know, we would always be willing to teach you the finer subtleties of our native tongue.....teka, native tongue - parang it doesn't sound proper :D

 

i'm sure your elegant shoes would always be welcome there, but better not sit with me because with my clumsiness, I might ruin those shoes with cigar ash....your legs won't be ruined as I will cover them with my arms oooopsss sorry hehehe...

Hehe tongue daw oh. :P

 

Naku kulang yung arms mo to cover my big pata legs! :lol:

 

pare... d ba si lipstick moderator?  who will moderate the moderator?

 

moreover, if we give a bottle to lipstick... she wont accept it since she hasnt showed up in any of our ebs!  oh well,  :(  looks like we'll have to drink that bottle ourselves again.

Oist, basta anniv WEB I WILL ATTEND!!! :P So be prepared with that bottle! :lol:

 

pare, she's too classy to be caught with such a wine in her possession :)

she'd rather be caught with some robustos or some St. Hugo. hehehe

Hehe yes hint hint .... :lol:

and, dyaaaraaaan!, , it was ms. Lipstick who, as masi said, animated the thread with her down-to-earth, honest, and really really heartwarming presence :)

AWARD! :lol:

Uyyyy am ready to accept my award na direk. :rolleyes:

 

:lol: Damn it! Di bagay talaga sa akin! :lol:

 

:sick: No offense, guys, but guys in drag - that's just NOT my cup o' red, if ya know what I mean! Now, Ms. Lips, Ms. HBC or Ms. LNPM in ANY skirt (the shorter the better) - now THAT's a sight I wouldn't want to miss!

 

Moi? I am but a humble wino, raving about the nectar of the gods. It's the wine talking!!! :lol:

 

Oh, sorry to hear that. And doubly sorry that I can't recommend drinking wine as an antidote to your ailment. Would have made a great way to recover!!!  Hope you're feeling better......

Hehe I reckon Bods and Masi would have sexier legs than me Mr. Agxo3! :lol: Promise I am telling the truth! :lol:

 

Thanks for the well wishes but I think I could use a real good drop tonight. :D

 

ok, bods, i finally got it!!!! i will bring the glen and the cigar!!!!! :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Lipstick, too, has been getting her share of AWARDS!!!  (i'll drink to that, courtesy of Ms. Lipstick!!!,  :lol:

 

seems, like i've been drinking to everything and anything these days :D  is there an AA thread on board? :wacko:

Hehe there is an AA thread however I think you are beyond the 12 steps. :lol:

 

Hi LNPM,

 

Great to hear from you again!  I have to correct your impression on the appreciation and knowledge that we hold on wine.  Frankly, I don't have much info except for what bods and agxo and the rest of the crew post as well as, the private research I do.  Well, if you call reading magazine articles research :wacko: ?

 

The time and moolah spent in appreciating wine are determined by the passion you have for it.  It is perhaps no different from girls wanting to have the latest in bags, shoes, clothes.  I my case, just as everyone here, if I maybe allowed to speak for them, would be wines and (plus, a few other things).

 

Thanks for the "Paris and Nicole" branding, altho watching them leaves really strong tannins, but still better than Beavis and Butthead :angry: which I would like to compare to really bad Chinese wines! I wonder what you would be calling the group if the group regulars have reached 5? Do you tag us the "Fab 5"? :lol: (Boy, I better learn a thing or 2 about branding, brand equity and advertising?  Any teacher in the house?)

I'm in on the FAB 5 but only if you let me be that funny screaming super kikay fashion guru Carson or if I get to be that gorgeous grooming guru Kyan. Mr. Agxo3 can be half of Ted the food & wine expert while Mr. Masi I think would sit just superbly as the Culture Guru. Bods can be Thom the Interior Design Guru. :D I reckon all that would be brand true to each of us. :upside:

hey bods, i've been reading and enjoying the posts in this thread. i'd like to contribute but i can't: except for tequila and johnny black, i never really liked alcohol. now, i've even dropped those two and except for the occasional red wine when i sometimes eat lunch at ponticello, alcohol rarely touches my lips.  :P

 

keep on posting: i might revisit my self-imposed, little wine policy. until then, make mine green tea.  :D

 

kaya pala I sometimes get that spongy feeling - the spongeman is lurking :P

 

pare thanks a lot! hey you don't have to be a wine drinker to join us in posting here. It's more or less 90% kalokohan here....9% shameless flirting and the rest concerning about......ah yes, wines and other related matters :lol:

 

you have an advantage pa nga eh - you occasionally drink it!

 

cheers, pare!

see you more often here!

hehe...

I'm drinking this Aussie pinot. Like the zinfandel, I can't seem to get the hang of it. Too much shiraz, I guess. It's 2003 - too young, don't you think?

 

from the way you sound, you seem to be in far worse shape :P

but San Miguel's ain't no swill....

I don't like the sound of that Interior Desginer guru thingie....

 

well yes....I redesign interiors and sometimes screw it up, but that's about it :rolleyes: :evil:

 

masi is right - kung baga sa vintages, our legs are failed vintages :P

yung sa iyo - panalo yan :)

how come this comment comes to me with the same expectation i would have for any shiraz or a cabernet sauvignon.... *strikers ... no surprise, senorita!!!!

:P What's the name of that cigar again? :lol:

 

 

well, has the small crush turned to a monumental something today? :P

or did you stay sober?

 

let me brazenly state on everyone's behalf that we miss you here!

cheers!

Haha Bods! That small crush has turned into something quite semi-monumental I think. Ati told me yesterday over the AA thread eh bakit ba ako nagtataka eh am so kikay daw. I just posted over at the AA thread in reply to that accusation of hers and I said Shempre nagtataka ako ... di naman ako uma-alembong dito (wahehehehe I just love hove antiquated that word is ... alembong! :lol: Ang update eh meron na akong small harem of boys dito na naka paligid sa akin tuwing breaks. Di lang mahaba hair ko, kumulot pa! :lol:

 

May isang mucho guapito na Pakistani (hehe pero westernized) na panay yaya sa akin na may samteeng dreenks sya sa room nya kung type ko raw uminom! At with every passing day eh palala ng palala ang bola sa akin. Kahapon sabi nya ang sweet ko daw as a person. This morning naman eh sabi nya if he had to pay me 10baht for every time I lit up the room with my smile eh he would be in debt for the next 10 lifetimes. Pakshet, di ba award??????? Pero ang pinaka award ay ang sinabi nya nung dinner time na "5years from now I will send you a note so that you know that you have always been in my heart" :blink: Ano daw???????

 

AWARD!!!! :wacko:

 

I miss this thread! I miss you guys .... hayyy but most of all I really miss home. :cry: It's only Wednesday pero feeling ko eh Friday na! Lech!

 

Do I get an award for that one? :lol:  :cool:

Hehe Mr. Agxo3 ..... this award is very special since it is your first .....

 

AWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hehe. :lol:

 

of course!!! :lol:  :lol:  we'll let lipstick decide on your award the next time she gets on-board... paging lipstick, please report to the board....  :D

Present!

 

now, benny hill and mr. bean, that's my idea of a class act. :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

I luvvvvvvvvvvvvv Benny Hill ... hehe he was quite a randy fellow wasn't he? :lol:

 

it is, pare...

but back then the blue nun-to-be was also very dear :rolleyes:

Hehe another religious experience for you there Bods. :P

 

Hi guys...decided to turn a new leaf.  I've been getting a lot of propositions because of my monicker.  This is the FORMER licknpokeme now the more sedate augustmoon

 

Tnx

Welcome back Ms. Augustmoon!

 

Somehow when I read the word augustmoon, I am reminded of that song "I'll be seeing you." It's such a lovely yet sad and haunting song.

 

I'll be seeing you

In all the old familiar places

That this heart of mine embraces

All day through

 

In the old cafe

The park across the way

The children's carousel

The chestnut trees

The wishing well

 

I'll be seeing you

In every lovely summer's day

In everything that's bright and gay

I'll always think of you that way

 

I'll find you

In the morning sun

And when the night is through ...

I'll be looking at the moon

And I'll be seeing you

 

*sigh* Am sure the next time I have a sip of good ol' St. Hugo, this song will be playing in my head.
