bods1000 Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 :cool: Well wines is definitely here to stay. Besides it's good health contributions to the heart it also has a status quo.In terms of Filipino taste the Australian, Californian and Chilean are the most acceptable wines here because of their tastes. Therefore the cheaper the wine the uglier it tastes but the more expensive wine is, it tastes better. Speaking of red wines have you tried guys to go to Southwines in Timog Avenue Quezon City, the place is nice it's the best interior designed wineshop I have ever visited. It is located near Zirkoh and Dreams. The staff are very courteous and they will assist you in everything. The price is very competitive and soon they will provide chairs and tables in order for you to drink there. Good news also THEY ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS. See you there guys !!! :mtc: that's a great place if they accept credit cards! Pare I've seen that place before kasi I supply wines to Rotonda Wines. Gotta drop by sometime....baka may ma-negosyo din Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 its the second to the last left turn before you go outside horshoe...there is a sign I culd eve invite you to some of our wine tastings. pare i saw that sign pero lagpas na ako hindi na makabuwelta dahil one-way yung Horseshoe, pero babalik ako dyan. Btw, I saw Kaan in Shopwise - I believe sa inyo yun, right? Kaya lang medyo mahal - P600+ yata. I was just looking for an everyday wine kaya I bought the Cape Gold Cab - is this yours too? Ok din - very fruity ang smell and easy on the palate but not thin-tasting. Do you have wine tastings? Invite me naman oh Just a PM away, pare.... Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 do you know of a wine shop importing Coppola wines? pare as far as I know wala pang importer/distributor nyan dito, but I could be wrong, you know. Try Bacchus - madami silang high-end California wines like Stags Leap, Rutherford, etc. baka meron na sila nito... Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 Are these chilean or argentinian? They sound so familiar. Try Terry's one in Pasong Tamo extension at the back of Jarvin? Plaza (the building with the starbucks ) and in the basement of Podium, Good Selection. Good luck California ito pare, winery ni Francis Coppola the director.There was this food trade exhibit a few months back at Mega and may stall yung Terry's. I bought some Spanish riojas from them and they're quite good - medyo affordable din at P300 - P400. I've been planning to visit their main store there kaya lang ang layo nung Pasong Tamo. Cheers pare! Quote Link to comment

Spurt Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 up ko lang thread! hey, bods, what happened? Quote Link to comment
masi Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 thanks bods for the advise. will do the roundst this weekend. havent gone to bacchus, santis, or anthony's for quite sometime. I dont know of other importers. I just rely on what the 3 stores could offer. I will try the one you recommended in Pasong Tamo. perhaps, you may want to add to the thread how you drink your wines, what cheezes go well, or if you smoke a pipe or cigar. i guess you can't remove these from a wine sipping culture. good luck and thanks again.

But my Australian principal once told me na may health benefits din daw ang whites, although I still have to see that study... Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted September 27, 2004 Author Share Posted September 27, 2004 red and white wine when i dine out with family and friends. hello there!yeah dining out with friends and family sometimes makes for a great wine experience...whites usually go with your appetizers, then either red or white with the main course, depending on what food it is. Kung minsan masarap mag-experiment with what kind of wines go with what food - just don't let a bad choice ruin your dinner date or family outing. Quote Link to comment

How do I drink my wines? Well it's very rare that I go out to savor wine with dinner because restaurant wines are too expensive but are not worth it - I mean yung mga house wines nila usually are the cheapest ones they can get - ito ang ginagawa nilang house wines. These are the wines you can grab off a supermarket shelf for less than P300 or even P200 but they're selling it for about P150 PER GLASS! Now I wouldn't want to be ripped off like that and drink inferior wine to boot! Now their better wines you have to pay through the nose for it - P1200 to P2000 and they're not available by the glass kasi nga hindi house wine. So I just buy from the supermarkets (not the wine stores because wine store prices are higher for the same wine than that from a grocery) and drink at home while reading or at the PC or watching TV. Usually I just take a chunk of cheese with the wine - that's how stingy I am hehehe but the experience is so pleasurable because I try to taste as many wines as I can. (Read: As i can afford ) Cigars are real dandy - ilang beses ko nang binalak to try cigars - but it would be too expensive a habit na hehehe. maybe on of these years I will. But as far as I know cigars go better with scotch - not wine, although it's just my opinion. Ok, as for your query about cheese vis-a-vis wines, there's a very good feature on that from Wine Spectator. I'll try to dig it up and post excerpts from it on the Thread later on, ok? But you know availability of particular cheeses here in Manila is quite limited, so mahirap kung minsan hanapin yung gusto mong cheese. I'll keep you posted later on. Cheers, pare!
