masi Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) pare I hope you get well soon! there's something about high-alcohol liquors.....when we were in Quezon for some reunion, more than 50% of those who partook of the catered food came down with all sorts of fevers, abdominal pains, headaches and all those wretched symptoms of food gone bad. What we noticed was that those of us (including me of course, hehehe) who immediately went on a drinking spree of several bottles of brandy right after the meal came out unscathed :cool: cheers for liquor! :cool:<{POST_SNAPBACK}> perhaps with all that alcohol you consumed, those micro-organisms neutralized and disinfected!!! ano ininum mo, green cross na pang-pamilya! kidding aside, when i'm not feeling well, i take 2 to 3 shots of brandy/rum and smoke a cigar. get 'em drunk and smoke 'em!

cakebread Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 i like port wine, especially after dinner<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ports and rums are good especially after having a real good meal and while smoking a good cigar! Quote Link to comment
masi Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 i met up with storm and mrs. storm, lipstick and 8 of orbs at cyrano's tonight. what was intended to be an early evening, "start the weekend right, after a hard week" impromptu eb turnedout out to be an evening bash with lawyers, agencia people, an artist and a real estate wannabe trying to release off some steam. i picked the Concha y Toro Casillero del Diablo 2004 Pinot Noir. Light to medium purple color with a "flirty" bouquet just what you would expect from a Pinot Noir. Pinot Noir, in lawyer parlance, is "allegedly" the most difficut grape vine to grow. This is marked by the varietals rich and vibrant but mysterious nose, and a delicate body which teases each and every portion of the palate and a tantalizing finish which could only be described as a rich but alluring, thin but long. To put the right notes to a pinot would be like breaking "Da Vinci's Code". From visual to finish, you would have to scan through the entire pages of Webster's just to come with the right description. After a few glasses, we teased the structure of the Pinot Noir with a seafood ravioli with a tomato-basil sauce. The Pinot revealed a different character, one which wa pretty fruity and a "honey" consistency finish. Lipstick ordered a bottle of an Argentinian Malbe :thumbsupsmiley: c. The label just skips me (must be my age). I'll leave this space for her notes. All in all, this tough week was made worthwhile having friends around. Quote Link to comment

Medyo may kamahalan lang talaga for everyday drinking. Will try the Knappstein first or the Leasinghams...The Fernwood (I hope I got it right) intrigues me because it comes from the Frankland River region - you don't see many wines from that region available here - and it says the Frankland has the coolest region in all of Australia - constantly cooled by the Southern Ocean breezes. It reportedly has a climate similar to the Rhone Valley of France... Quote Link to comment
