agxo3 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Quite right there, agxo! I am venturing out of the box -- away from the "purist" and "monastic" ways. I never got to taste much Italian sparkling wines except the Asti whose bubbles felt like the size of marbles in the mouth. A bad jump start on the learning curve. On a side note.... I was rummaging through the pantry at my mom-in-laws house and found several unopened bottles of Hennesy Cognac, a Glenfiddich-Special Old Reserve, and 2-bottles of 1985 Perrier Jouet. Sad to say, the Hennesy and the Perrier-Jouet didnt make the trip. The corks overflowed. But the Glen is still in good shape. Bods, we have a single-malt!!!!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oooooohhhh - too bad about the Perrier Jouet. But give the Henessey a try anyway. Since i't sbrandy it should survive a lot of abuse. And that Glenfiddich should be wonderful with a nice cigar! Quote Link to comment
masi Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 pare I got so emotional reading this post that tears were running down my legs pare what 23 is that? July ba yun??? I never imagined well let me say that I opened this thread because I wanted to know more about wine and the wine world, it being a passion of mine at that moment. but without you guys - masi, agxo, lips :* , eagleyes, magaling, sbm, hbc, ms.m, spurt, freakish, lana and everybody else (guys, my proper speech I'm still working at and will post it soon - don't say I didn't warn you hehehe), this thread would have died out like so many other threads here. It has sputtered and stumbled, but it has wonderfully picked itself up....guys, I'm not much for attending, much less organizing, grand thingy-thingies, but seeing this thread survive, and dare I say, prosper for a whole year is reward in itself! cheers! thanks so much for pareng masi and agxo - I owe you so much, and ms. Lips - without you, this thread would have been dry-as-dust hehehe....<{POST_SNAPBACK}> yes, pare, 23 July 2004 was the date when you ventured to the unknown of this board, not knowing what to expect, but merely a passion for wine in tow. Congratulations...let's get together to drink to a year of learning, discoveries, friendships, irreverence, sympathies and empathy, fun and awards!!!! Quits na tayo!!! (well, only until agxo arrives!) Quote Link to comment

agxo3 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Wow - I really did screw that one up - and I haven't had my wine tonight yet!!! :lol: Here's to all - and to the juice that's brought us all together! Let's trty that again.......and hope the quotes work better this time. And maybe I'll get ALL the stuff i wanted to reply to this time as well!!! yup! bods and i had developed a collective fondness for the beautiful, captivating and alluring in all forms, size, color, shape, taste.... no bar wenches in Barcino's except maybe when bods and i start to wear skirts ...and start dancing the fandango and flamenco...hmmm, must be the fat and oil in those tapas more than the alcohol in the tempranillo and shiraz ... in reponse to your question in my presscon... hija, i need not reply to the obvious.... my cousin and i come from the same vine, but i must add, i have a better vintage... (bods, this reply is not OT nor would you think i'm drunk responding to this post!!!!) :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!90's cabs are great, but they've gotten so expensive!I wonder if they still have a 90's cab at Wine Depot.....what can you say about Simi, pare? Wine Depot carries it....Beringer is also available here though I'm not sure if the vintages here are any good... Simi? I don't know much about them. Not on my list of faves. Yet. But now that you ask, i will do my best to remember to pick one up and give it a try!! As for Beringer - uneven quality, unfortunately. the make some really fine, fine swill, but some of what they put out is really and truly deserving of the the literal meaning of the term. yes, it seems even in the hearts of winemakers, evil lurks - all along I thought that it is only in the hearts of winedrinkers that misdeeds reside sayang nga about the Burgundies - but how can we be sure that there are no hanky-pankies even in Oregon? If you recall what Gallo did to build its empire, you shudder at what American winemakers are capable of... Yup - but there's a lot more transparency now, and most, if not all, of these wineries are open to the public for tours and tasting. they're truly proud of their product, have no tradition to uphold, and are scrapping for every bit of good publicity the can get. So would guess that any nefarious doings would be severly curtailed, or at least, a dirty deed done in the dead of night. Had to do some research on the Opus One and found out that it's from the Rothschild/Mondavi JV. Well, I guess you have to get it from Anthony's/Yakal Street or Magnum/GB2 or Cork/Rockwell since they are exclusive importers of both brands. Anthony's has an outlet at the NAIA-1 Duty Free. If not try getting it when you get back at their big shop beside NAIA1. Good luck...An overpacked suitcase doesn't surprise me abit. It's the reason that my golfbag gets left behind whenever we go on holiday. Have a safe trip. Opus One is indeed the Rothschild/Mondavi collaboration. A fine wine, and a lovely winery, but methinks they're a bit full of themselves. $25 bot a SMALL taste??? And you don't even get to keep the glass??? Well, it's not a logo glass anyway - but that's yet another strike agains them! If you are hell bent on an Opus One, try to pick up a 92 or 93. Not as desirable as the 99 but every bit as good as the 95 and 94 and perhaps easier to find. Or, go for a 97. 2001 was also good, and 2002. But if you want a wine with a similar rep*tation and perhaps easier to find, look for a Heitz Martha's Vineyard (97 should be good!). Or maybe a Merryvale 99. Hess Collection - anything from 92 to 97. that N-C Cask 97 that we opened was a tremendous wine. Full bodied and a really full mouthfeel. Lots of rich, dark berries and black cherries. Nice, round tannins. And a finish full of smoke and leather. Not a hint of tar nor green-ness. Actually the three of you!

Lipstick Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Just a quick one to say hello because the internet connection here in Bangkok is fookin' unstable! Been sober all day and am thinking if I wanna be brazen and grab some alcohol with the Truth Well Told crew. It has been a day with a lonngggggggggggggg finish like wine that is immensely enjoyable. Am actually having fun at this revenue creation workshop -- I love learning. Hehe and part of today's discovery is that some of the boys have some small crush on me. I wonder why????

bods1000 Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 good morning, folks!ok before we pop the first cork for the day, let me share with you this bit of a downright amusing news. Ever heard of a talking wine label? Seems an Italian firm has patented a microchip embedded ( I love that word!) in a wine label. It comes in its usual square or rectangular form and the plastic label can be removed and "read" in a special Walkman-like device ( which you also have to buy). The manufacturer or a person then tells you details about the wine - like vintage, region, the origin of the grapes in the wine, the winery, etc. Kinda stupefying, would you agree? hehehe It says this is the ultimate safeguard against fraud and counterfeit wines, which seems so rampant these days....Of course this would appear only on high-end brands.... cheers!

Cheers!!!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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 ? 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 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"? (Boy, I better learn a thing or 2 about branding, brand equity and advertising? Any teacher in the house?) Quote Link to comment

Good morning! I guess as long as there are quality products in the market, trust that there are counterfeits shadowing it. I would still like to see traditional labelling. Maybe the "purist" in me. I hope those tags will be hidden and away from the labels. A good place to put them would be between the cork and the foil. Better yet, come up that technology to make flex circuits where the circuit is imbedded in the foil already. Edited July 12, 2005 by masi Quote Link to comment

Quote Link to comment
igol ays Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Wine label information: 1. Name of winery 2. Appellation - Name of the winegrowing region. 3. Name of the vineyard(s) 4. Varietal name - If there is no varietal name, the wine is probably a blend (cuvee). To be able to call a wine by the varietal name, it must contain at least 75% of wine from that grape. Traditional wines from France, Italy, and Spain, use the place of origin instead of the varietal. 5. Vintage - The year the grapes were grown. If there is no vintage, it is probably a mixture of wines made in different years. Some labels have other technical data such as percentage of varietals if it is a blend, residual sugar, percentage alcohol, etc. --- Other Information Found on Wine Labels --- "Cellared and Bottled By" means that the winery bought the wine and bottled it. "Made and Bottled By" means that the winery made at least 10% of the wine. "Produced and Bottled By" means that the winery made at least 75% of the wine. "Estate Bottled" means that the winery not only made 100% of the wine but also grew the grapes on land owned by the winery. "Vintner's Reserve," "Estate Reserve" or "Select" etc. - Terms like these have no set (or legal) meaning, although within certain wineries these terms may have specific meaning. Labeling laws and requirements will vary between countries. Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 but most of that information is already on the label... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yes but the point is that labels can be counterfeited - there's a lot of them now. Chances of coming up with a fake "talking label" is almost nil... remember the fake Moet Et Chandon made in Cuba - with fake labels, corks and all but with swill inside the bottle? Labels can be printed or obtained illegally and put on a bottle with swill inside. Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 speaking of fraud, 3 managers of Champagne Esterlin were recently indicted of fraud for labelling their wines under FALSE VINTAGES!!! could you imagine that!

Let me try and find out. :-) The images of you an Bods 1000 and maybe the rest of the guys here at this forum is that of Metrosexuals... please... not to be taken as anything derogatory, but more as a compliment.
