pinoy_strigoi Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 hehehe....speaking of disclosures, I think pinoy blew the lid on something well I guess staying true-to-form and not sacrificing authenticity will still give you the best cuisine there is.....<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Duhh... sorry for that. Pero alam mo na ang fave kong sushi...hehehe. Sana makatkim ako uli, and with Chateau wine (La Fitte ba Masi?) or the glenfiddich - sweet as sugar- single malt. Lips macking good talaga.

pinoy_strigoi Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Uy tanong lang. Bakit ako na-off topic post warning? Dahil hindi tungkol sa wine? And who's to say if my post was wine related or not. OK, will post that I like Old World wines better than New World Wines. OT pa ba itong post? Quote Link to comment

bods1000 Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 Just a quick Ola before I go back to sleep. It's damn good to be back on PI soil even if it will never be suitable for growing fab grapes to make into wines for lurid trysts. Catch y'all layatah! tata!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> ...and it's darn good to hear the soft pitter-patter of your feet on our local terroir.... welcome back! Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 I've read and read and ead, and the information does help narrow your choices a bit, but nothing beats tasting. That's the best education you can get, and the more good wine you taste, the better. It's easy to find something lesser that you still enjoy, but to find that one true conversion moment - that takes a GOOD wine.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> ang galing, pare!I like the way you stated it - a true conversion moment - that's the point of no return for us - something like crossing the Rubicon (pun intended) Now when was my conversion moment? I think it was when I got into the wine business and I got to taste this really wonderful Western Australian shiraz. That was my road to Damascus Quote Link to comment
masi Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Mmmmmm - now I am properly fortified for my week in the culinary desert of Taiwan.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Taiwan, is perhaps, where you will find St. Peter holding the keys to the culinary heavens! I have frequented the place travelling from Taipei, Taichung, Chaiyi, Hsinchu, Kaoshiung... marveling at every gastronomic encounter. Much has been said about Chinese wines tasting like cough syrup. I only tried it once and confirm that, indeed, it is such. However, to me, a Chinese wine is still the Xaoxing, served warm, mixed with slices of ginger or lemon, or cyrstalized sugar or salted plum, to wash down a serving of roast pork, fresh scallops, thumb size abalone, and that ever present palm size shark's fin in thick soup served piping hot!

bods1000 Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 :Hahahaha 20baht will get you far Bods. On the last day of the workshop, the Pakistani told me "I may never see you again, God forbid that I don't but just in case that is my fate, your smile has been imprinted in my mind and heart, your charm I will always seek when I meet new women and I would always wish that I did not have to love you from afar." Of course I am paraphrasing as he took some 20mins or so to tell me all that. Guess what I told him? AWARD!!! Hehe. Pati AWARD ma-uuso na sa mga yabmubs! :lol: I bet he picked those lines out of some bollywood stuff he saw before leaving his motherland. Hahaha.I think lurid would be better as a consequence of the wine. :evil:Haha lurid as lurid can get. My mind lives in the gutter. You know what I think???? I really think they drink those horridly expensive wines disguised under the Mompo brand. Now THAT'S THE CONSPIRACY! Dude, this is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 80s! Opium and YSL! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> that Pakistani has got great stuff, I tell you. Are you sure he's Pakistani? Kasi, bollywood is Indian and bumbays are Indians - Sikhs to be exact. Pasensya ka na for my nitpicking ha - nabitin yata ako kagabi sa inom eh :cry: We pray no lurid situations occur as a consequence of our WEBS or else, hindi tayo sa gutter pupulutin - kundi sa kangkungan about Mompo: I think those priests who give terrible homilies get to drink just Mompo. Those with great sermons are the ones who have snucked in some good stuff in those Mompo bottles Quote Link to comment

bods1000 Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! ok bods, we have to decide who drinks the vino kulafu and who is the "talker"!!! "hell hath no fury than a woman scourned!" so pare, before liptick makes us drink a drum of that stuff at our next eb, you might as well "spell it out!" :hypocritesmiley:<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Your Honor, I strongly disagree that I become the stool pigeon and the rat. For a complete resolution of this issue, I strongly recommend that the Romanian ghost be the one to "spill the beans" , so to speak hehehe....Some more Vino Kulafu, your Honor? :sick: Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 i was supposed to describe the sensation of the single malt as rolling out like a carpet on my palate but.. i said to myself that it may be too revealing that nothing is left to the reader's imagination. so i inhibited. never thought that the "carpet" was already sufficient to get your imagination working ... off-tangent nga lang.... for being off-tangent, Carlo Rossi for you, senorita!!!! :sick: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yes, the senorita is always so off-tangent with her lurid imagination that I will add 1 box of Franzia for her :sick: Quote Link to comment
