bods1000 Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 hi guys, i don't know if this is OT, bring out ko lang, there's this company - wine company where's the gm is leaving for the states, so the position is available. i can not recommend but obviously the criteria for the replacement/gm position must know about wines. anyone interested can pm for the details.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> sayang ito - pero I'm still trying to enjoy my retirement Quote Link to comment
agxo3 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 yes we did but as storm said - all-exploratory but we did cover substantial ground. I was under the impression that masi would e-mail you the results ok we hope we can get together by that time - September is a nice month to open that bubbly <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hmmmmm - no email from Masi yet. I'll keep an eye for it. September sounds good to you? OK. I'll work on that. Most of the typhoons should be past by then. I hope...... On my way to Beijing. From one wine desert to another.......oh, well. Into each life some rain must fall. Can't wait to get back to CA. Just got an email saying my next Coppola wine shipment is on its way!!!

bods1000 Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 I'd like to share this beautiful wine quote. (Though I'm not that familiar with Italian wines) Barolo is the Bach of wine....strong, supremely structured, a little forbidding, but absolutely fundamental. Barbaresco is the Beethoven, taking those qualities and lifting them to heights of subjective passion and pain....and Brunello is its Brahms, the softer, fuller, romantic afterglow of so much strenous excess. - Michael Dibdin, A Long Finish Quote Link to comment
storm Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Nasaan na ang mga wine masters? Quote Link to comment

masi Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 We had some exploratory discussions pero wala pang concrete results. Maybe some more rounds and the spirits will give us the go-go-go signal. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yes we did but as storm said - all-exploratory but we did cover substantial ground.

I've been very busy with office work. It all has to do with this restructuring that's taking place. My Jap principals have been barraging me with emails, phone calls and visits. Too much talk, too much paper!!!! :grr: September/October will be critical and milestone months. These would be the time we'll put everything to motion. I can only backread a few pages. I tried getting onboard during office hours when work slackens abit but the board seems so full that I could hardly log in. Can't do much after work which usually extends past dinner time and by the time I get home I'm completely wasted. Keep in touch guys and don't keep those bottles too long! Agxo, we still have the bottle of champagne chilling in my ref. :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment

Like stale gossip, it's better left unsaid cheers! Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 I posted this quote on another thread but I guess it properly belongs here: I'm not sure that Dom Perignon is three times as good as Moet, but I will swear that Yquem is three times better than, say, Rieussec. If drinking Sauternes in general is a little like reading Walter Pater on Leonardo da Vinci, drinking Yquem is like being Leonardo. Jay McInerneyBacchus & Me Quote Link to comment
Guest templar Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Greetings to MTC's wine gods and goddesses .... congratulations on a great thread! Just wanted to share (if it hasn't been mentioned here) that there's a new channel on Dream Satellite called Wine TV ...... it's very informative and covers both old and new world wines! Cheers!

This place has a great selection of cured meats, cheese and other deli items. Quote Link to comment

Sayang Spanish wines dito sa Philippines, under rated. Spanish wineries such as Mas Gil, Vinos Conrad and The Sadie Family are already at par with old world wineries. Quote Link to comment
