tentacle Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Hello! I just saw a post mentioning the Winery. Incidentally, Brumm's Quality Wines, Inc. sent me a packet with their winelist and their newsletter. According to their flyer, the Winery will be conducting wine tasting sessions every weekend from 10 am to 6 pm. Price per guests starts from P300. Here are their contact details: No. 5 Julieta Circle, Horseshoe Village, Quezon CityTel. nos. 7245251, 7246306, 7222185 By the way, they deliver for free within Metro Manila if you order a minimum of 12 bottles. I haven't tasted any of their wines, though. I don't even know how they got my name and address. Hubby and I have been enjoyinga couple of bottle of Yellow Tail Merlot 2003 the past few evenings. It definitely is a good alternative to Jacob's Creek. I also enjoyed drinking Stonehaven Shiraz 2004 (from Southeastern Australia) with people I work with. It tasted smooth and didn't leave any bitter aftertaste. (It tasted so good that the 3 of us finished 2 bottles in an hour.) Considering that it's only P300 per bottle at the Wine Depot along Ayala Ave., I think it's a pretty good buy. Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted September 3, 2005 Author Share Posted September 3, 2005 Brumm's specializes in German and Austrian wines - so they got lots of gewurtztraminers and rieslings.There used to be a poster here who is connected with that company but he hasn't surfaced for a long time. Stonehaven is good value. Why not also try the Bridgewater Shiraz and the Grant Burge - also available at Wine Depot. Yellow Tail of course is that monster brand currently making huge waves in the States - the Aussie import that's changing winemaker's and winos perception about wine. Many labels now are coming up with wines with animals on their labels Quote Link to comment

Lipstick Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Hi Lipstick... welcome! (back?) ... for some time i thought nag-madre ka na (d pa pala!!) i was reading some ratings on the petrus on some wine threads. for a $1000+ i was expecting a 95 or higher rating. but the highest was a 92 for a vintage 86. well, i may not be able to taste that petrus but at least i got hold of the chateau margaux and lafite (mind you, it was served by my Taiwanese host and i just drank it! sayang wasnt much of the fancy wine drinker then. next time i know betterererer!!!) snorting vodka? wow, pretty out of this world for me! did your brit MD snort it too? if not, it seems that you've been had!!! hepi-hepi... boy, do i miss that feeling. when i drink now i just get tipsy... i dont drink that much anymore. you ought to go to bacchus for that ultimate amaretto trip!<{POST_SNAPBACK}>HEH! Welcome back ka dyan! But hey, I actually considered becoming a nun even after discovering the pleasures of the skin! Hayy but then I was sure my application would be rejected so I did not pursue it na. I've tried Margaux ages ago and was wayy too immature to appreciate wine of any sort. Pare, everyone had to snort including the instigator himself! I actually don't remember how I made my way back to Pearl of the Pacific that night. Haven't had my amaretto fix yet but hopefully soon! :cool: Welcome back Ms. Lipstick! Nawala ka ng isang linggo, 2 pages lang ang galaw. Was at a Japanese restaurant last night, and of course it has to be sake. But my mistake was not specifying that they serve it cold. Mainit na nga sa ating lupang hinirang, mainit pa ang iinumin. The temperature really had a big effect on the wine. When served, it was as hot as coffee, and the taste was full. As it cooled down to warm, it tasted different, but not in a good way. As it cooled down further (about as cold as the airconditioned air), it became more palatable for me. Smooth and again full to the mouth. I prefer the sake served cold - around 10 degrees. It's refreshing! Guys, would a 1983 South African CabSav still be drinkable today, or is it most probably vinegar by now? The bottle was kept in a cellar all this time.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hey there FD! So where was this Jap resto you had dinner at? Food any good? There's this Jap resto along Morato called Zensho and they have wot they call MOTOYAKI OYSTERS which you must absolutely try if you love oysters! Sharappppp!!!! :thumbsupsmiley: Vintage SA wine, shouldn't it be good still of cellared properly? Hello there!

How have you been? Eagleyes! Sorry I didn't get to catch you while you were here. Agxo3! Backread ka na! Sige na pleaseeeeeeee ... kasi 2 pages lang naman backread mo. Hope everyone has been well.

That would be a blast (literally, I suppose )! Is it polite to mention a restaurant that met your expectations, if that perspective was not high? The food was good, but not exceptional. It was Japanese, but more of Filipinized Japanese. And the sake was served hot. Para hindi OT, Finally got to open a bottle of Torres 2001 Tempranillo last sunday. It had very good legs, wonderful aroma of fruits and a bit of oak. At 4 years old, it was flavorful with the taste of cherries followed by peppers, then finished with oak tones. It was very smooth, and went very well with pot roast and cheese. Surprisingly, it was a great match with Pistachio Ice Cream too! Great wine! Thanks for pointing out this variety, guys!
