cebucitylocal Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Thanks ccl for that info about Icewine....so ganun pala yun. It must be delicious but I bet the alcohol content is high, because if the sugar content in a grape is allowed to go up, alcohol content also shoots up. Tell me where Icewine is being sold ok? uhmmm...no thanks for your Chinese wines Since you mention cough syrup baka nga magkasakit pa 'ko when I drink that lolz. Hmmm...I wonder what we can do with those bottles Regarding Icewine,I will do a little research to find out where and how much it costs?I will check with Brumms and Santi s to see whats available and report back later this week.Regarding what to do with 4 bottles of chinese wine, anybody here have suggestions aside from turning it into wine vinegar ??

Fahfrd Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Have any of you tried the Mango Wine produced locally? I bought a bottle last time I was in Intramuros and the wine was very good. I'm not really a wine drinker but this was tastes very good. Mura pa, mga P250 per bottle. Quote Link to comment
cebucitylocal Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 OK,I have a report on Ice wine,For those who dont want want to pay a minimum of 1,500 pesos per bottle,Rustan s Ayala is selling 200ML half bottles of ice wine between 700-900 pesos.That way you can try it out without having to buy a whole bottle.Look in the New world wines section and it is there with the canadian wines Quote Link to comment

Now that you mention it, maybe you can donate it to the Cooking Thread here to use in one of their recipes that will require wine O kaya magpa-quiz ka uli dun sa PP with the wines as prizes, o diba?

AlexSantos Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Hmm. Icewine. Maybe for more special occassions.For your typical dinner wine though, my budget would probably be in the 500 range only. Nothing too expensive really. Just a little something to warm you up and get a slight buzz. Quote Link to comment

As for me, yung everyday drinking wine ko pwede na sa akin yung mga nasa P300 range. Quote Link to comment
Lipstick Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Ola Bods! The "I-know-wine-wannabe" is back! Me! Shempre na alarm ako when you were trying to verify the Traminer Riesling I mentioned since they seem to be of diffy varieties. So checkity check ako and there is such a thing as a Traminer Riesling. Not only does Sherwood Estate carry one but some other wineries as well. Eto I just copied from their websites: Sherwood Estates 2003 Traminer Riesling The wine is pale straw in colour and the aroma is sweet-smelling. Being a fresh, young wine this Traminer Riesling typically displays the aroma of lychees and floral, with lemon and honey overtones. Residual sweetness is maintained to complement the obvious fruit characters of the wine. Drink this wine now to enjoy its fresh style, and enjoy with spicy Thai, Malay and Indian dishes. 2001 Sacred Hill Traminer RieslingThe wine is pale straw in colour and the bouquet: Typical musk aromas from the traminer are evident withslight spice and citrus notes from the riesling. This wine exhibits the spicy musk and rose petal flavours oftraminer combined with soft lemon and lime citrus characters of the riesling. A medium sweet wine with a crisp acid finish. It is a great match with Mediterranean-stylevegetable pizzas or a Hoisin lamb & vegetable stir-fry. So is this the Traminer Riesling a hybrid? Am clueless. I tried researching on Stonefish Wines but didn't come up with much except that it's available in a whole lot of the restos in Australia and it seems to come from the Hunter Valley. The St. Hugo in the otherhand is from Orlando Wines (not Yalumba according to my GOOGLE search, hehe so my bf must've mixed it up with another bottle from his memory ) and it was a Coonawara Cabernet Sauvignon 2000 which we drank in 2004 kaya masarapppppp!

Busy-busy you sa research. Well that was one nifty research you did and I stand corrected. It must be some kind of hybrid, and please don't get alarmed because nervous din ako sa mga facts kowe Learning stage pa din ako, if you know hehe. Teka...now I know what it is. The wines you mentioned make use of two grape varieties - traminer and riesling, right? Just like there are some wines which are Cabernet-Merlot - which is a combi of cabernet sauvignon and merlot - and Grenache-Shiraz - which combines grenache and shiraz. The combination of varietals is sometimes made to temper the taste of one grape with that of another. Like with Cab-Merl - the merlot which is softer is used to counter the tannic qualities of a cabernet sauvignon hehe. Hehe I wonder why he mixed up his wineries. Figure he had too much buzz or what? Orlando - yes! makes a lot of great drinkable wines - and not to expensive.Yalumba on the other hand belongs to the elite of Aussie wineries. It is the oldest family-owned winery in Australia. Coonawarra is another great region for wines. I don't think Stonefish and St. John is available here. cheers! how can I get you the semillon Quote Link to comment

Tukuykuy Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 what would u guys recommend na wine sa isang wala pang alam sa wines na tulad ko? maybe yung lower price range muna, yung mga around 300, meron kasi ako nakikita na usually nasa ganung price range pero di ko alam kung ano kukunin ko.i've tried white wine and red wine pero parang prefer ko ay red. then meron kasi ako naririnig na wines made of grapes pero di ko maalala yung term sa ganun eh (sorry am not really that knowledgeable in wines eh) kasi sabi nila mas masarap daw yun. maybe some of you can give a sort of lecture on different kind of wines. tsaka yung sinsabi nga palang mango wine, saan ba makakabili nun? available ba yun sa karamihan ng mga liquor stores? tnx mga pre Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 My sister is planning on exporting wine to the philippines. NZ wine is really good.. anyone interested? PM me hello Is your sister connected to any winery? kasi ang alam ko only the winery or their authorized agents are allowed to export in bulk. If it is in her personal capacity, medyo expensive mag-padala through airfreight and in small quantities pa. Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 Yup, ya gotta try it one of these days, dude. Masarap siya. :cool: well I gotta take your word for it I'll look it up! Quote Link to comment
