bods1000 Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 what swayed me into buying Rene Barbier was that it still came corked. I don't have anything against wines with screw caps. Experts say it makes no difference whether you plug a wine with a stopper like cork or close it with a cap. Maybe I just love to hear the cork pop as it comes out, or the smell of cork, or the tactile feel of cork. It helps that I have been collecting corks for the last 15 years or so for some nebulous future project of mine, but still I would have preferred it to some other wine closure, project or no project.Therefore, of late, most of the wines I have been buying were Chilean or Spanish. My favorite Aussies almost all come in screw caps now.Pag puro Australian wine nga nakita mong nakahanay sa grocery shelf, parang tingin ko mga bote ng toyo hehe. Quote Link to comment

bods1000 Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 Bods, email me, please. Remember that idea I had a few years ago? It's back and a bit more alive. But I need a bit of information that I am sure you can help me get (or that you already know). Trying to line up a couple of local investors there to fund it. My brother will probably be our front man there if this works out. pards!I've replied to your email, finally. The information's not complete yet, however.Good luck, and cheers! Quote Link to comment

bods1000 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 abd, Oh yes there is, and it's mind-boggling and head-splitting hehe. You have to taste all the wines - red, white, Old World, New World. I once attended a wine event at Mandarin given by Aussie winemakers and they had their all their wines on sample. Couldn't wait for the lecture to finish so we can get our hands on the wines. Didn't know how I got home that night.... Masi, Pards mukhang marami ka nang naiinom na wine ah. Puro bago pa hehe. Meron pa ba?Storm is inviting us to sample some wine. Set natin? Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 storm, Nice bumping into you today. My offer still stands P7k for your plasma. And don't forget the vigan longganisa ha. Yan ang pulutan natin sa bahay. Quote Link to comment
masi Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) Ruffino Modus 2005 ToscanaBrunello di Montalcino, Valdicava 2004 (VERY FRAGRANT bouquet, rich and elegant, but lacking in depth. This wine was not ready even if our meal stretch to 3 hours! I would give this bottle 5 to 8 years of cellaring before I would touch another.) over Insalata Caprese and Saliciccia + Osso Bucco. Been very busy lately. I'll catch up with you guys soon! Edited March 13, 2011 by masi Quote Link to comment

bods1000 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 pre text ka lang. Kung saang place mo gusto.8k? Kaya pala parang wala akong tiwala dun sa mama hehe. Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 I still can't get over the synesthesia of the taste and the feel. Long finish pala tawag doon ... hehehe quite similar to that long finish we feel I suppose while having epidermal felicity with another featherless biped in desperate congress! :lo: Harharhar. Wow...panalo! Such a fine way with words. I miss.... Wala lang. Just reading through the thread, and feeling some nostalgia fuelled by the wine I'm drinking now. It's a wonder how something like this cheap wine can trigger some nostalgia for this ancient thread. Cheers, winos, wherever you are. Quote Link to comment
