Lipstick Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 and i thought it was 65! it's pretty unusual for a girl to want to add years.... hmmmm... am beginning to wonder... o baka it's the influence of the "wine culture" that you want to age with grace... kasi in my opinion ladies are like whiskies between 18 to 25 years old are best to consume... (oh this is a wine thread, not a whiskey thread ) talking of dina on this thread is a fantasy ...not unless i live in polk street or in malacanang! at paano na naman ako nasama sa usapang P200 champagne... sige lipstick... pag ikaw may nahanap pwera novellino or asti iinumin ko ... sabay-sabay cheers tayo ni bods at pinoy (sama ka dun )... pag wala i will open this bottle of red wine from anonymous :sick: (you remember that store of rico ocampo, ngayon wala na!)... meron ako nyan and you thought carlo rossi and gato negro was bad!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Ola Senyor! Long time me no post! Hahaha well if ladies are like whiskies with a shelf life of 25years old then Agxo3 is going to have to chuck me to that shrub of his at home! But yes, I want to age gracefully. I somehow kinda got over the "i don't want to get old" hump when I turned 30 some 7 years ago. Besides, it's never too early to get a rocking chair. AHahahahahaha. My paramour told me he read somewhere that in a perfect world we would all be drinking Petrus. But alas this world is not perfect and you would just have to brace yourself for the day I find wine that isn't over 200pesoses because you are going to have to drink it!!!!!! Haha! I don't think so. It's locked up well in the Batcave. Not even my siblings know where it is. Nyahahaha! Yeah, Wolf Blass. Used to be, if I couldn't decide what to pick from the wine shop on the corner back in Brizzy, I'd just get that bottle of Wolf Blass. An Aussie politician got into trouble because of her bottle of Wolf Blass while I was there. It was all over the papers then. Apparently she had a bottle with her in her private plane when it landed in an airstrip inside an alcohol-restricted area in some Aborigine reserve and it was noticed by the attendants from the airstrip who cleaned up the plane. It caused so much brouhaha that she eventaully resigned from office. That was actually what got me interested in the label and I bought the vintage a few days after it erupted. What wine could be so good a politician would risk getting sacked over it? A bottle of WolfBlass Cabsav 2000. :thumbsupsmiley:<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hehe HOL, I'd still be very very careful with that drop ... From today's San Jose Mercury News Food and Wine Section. Seems the integrity of California's wine industry is taking a few hits.......wonder if any of my winewaker friends uses any of these techniques??? ------------------ Daniel: 5 little wine secrets TECHNIQUES MOST VINTNERS DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT By Laurie Daniel Special to the Mercury NewsWinemakers like to say that their wines are made in the vineyard. These days, though, the fruit from that vineyard is more and more likely to be subjected to a range of sophisticated technology and added ingredients on its way to the bottle. There are machines to reduce alcohol content. Another machine exposes the wine to tiny amounts of oxygen to soften the wine and help preserve the color. Acid is added or subtracted. Grape extracts intensify color in red wines. Powdered tannins add body. Some winemakers use these tools only on a problem wine or in a difficult vintage. Others use them routinely.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I would resonate floppydrive's sentiments. It's like having the babe of your dreams but knowing that she is but a product of science aka cosmetic surgery! xxx Ola Winos! How have you all been? I haven't had a drop of wine yet since that bottle of Tyrell's, been drinking vodka on the rocks last week. I felt like some russian bar wench! All in all it's all good! Am craving for some amaretto based drinks tho, been craving for something sweet. Quote Link to comment
hint-of-lime Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Oh yeah. Wolf Blass has a gold label series where they feature varietals which are produced from areas which are quite well known for them. For example: Cabernet sauvignon from Coonawarra, Shiraz from the Barossa Valley, and so on. I haven't managed to get my hands on any bottle from the series, but knowing Wolf Blass, these have to be good! :cool: Quote Link to comment

It's like having the babe of your dreams but knowing that she is but a product of science aka cosmetic surgery! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Uuhh, I was thinking more along the lines of "we're spending $$ to get those grapes to grow - we better make $$$$$$$ from every drop of it" kind of thing, but the "babe of your dreams is a plastic toy" thing sounds way much better!! Cheers! Have great sunday, everyone! Quote Link to comment

I thought it was a buffet, but found out it was all herring. They say the herring was the fish that conquered the world, and I can believe it as sailors used this fish as a staple on those long voyages to the new world. But the vodka was great! about 8 different kinds, and all served in chilled vodka glasses. Needless to say I could not drive nor talk straight afterwards. Ei bods n Masi - inom na tayo!
