bods1000 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 agxo: Hope the ribs went down well with the Oscars viewing, as I myself found the results unpalatable. When will they stop giving the top award to novelties? Haha. But that's just me. This old fogey would have wanted Gary Oldman to win, or Moneyball to have passed on the outside and won. I saw Moneyball on dvd - yes, it hasn't been shown in theaters here, no thanksto the intelligent beings here called movie distributors - and I found it impressive. To make such a small premise into such a big and interesting and riveting movie is quite an achievement. I have always found baseball fascinating and I always root for underdogs. Now where's the wine in this? So very off-topic. Well, nowadays I just drink common and inexpensive wines. But it's still great company. Cheers! Quote Link to comment

Cheers!The ribs and wine made the Oscar results more tolerable. I was rooting for Gary Oldman, too! Oh, well....... The NZ pinot was not bad at all! I hae a couple more bottles, then that's it for that lot of wines. But not to fear - there are another 300 bottles just waiting to be popped and enjoyed! Simple dinner tonight - French onion soup, calabrese salami, some cheese and toasted baguettes with olive oil and tomato paste smeared on (a riff on the toast served at many tapas joints in Madrid). Maybe a bit of panna cotta for dessert. All this with a light and fresh tempranillo. Quote Link to comment

Wonder what the surprises will be next year, and yes, Moneyball was finally shown hear, but I guess a lot of people have already seen it on the small screen, so a homerun at the tills was a remote possibility. Good for you with those wines. 300 more bottles? That's a lot of vintages you got there. Haven't seen any of the guys here. But I guess they're okay. It's still me and my simple wines every night, and lately with my bros-in-law, as all of us got a scare when one of them underwent a "medical situation" lately hehe. So all bets are off on beer and in the homestretch wine finally is winning. Cheers! Quote Link to comment

bods1000 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hi Bods, Just to let you know that I've recently visited your restos at Morato and Greenhills. Great food! Have a good 1! Hehe so many thanks!Wish we could have seen each other. Talking of which, I caught a glimpse of you and your beloved other half in that mall that was in the news lately. In fact two days after that, a bloody incident involving a grenade, bullets and a moneychanger erupted. Glad to know you're okay. Quote Link to comment
SaintPeter5858 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 What do you think is the best Brandy? Fundador or Torres or Carlos I? Quote Link to comment

In fact two days after that, a bloody incident involving a grenade, bullets and a moneychanger erupted. Glad to know you're okay. Our office is in the area. In fact when I was on the phone with our US principals when that grenade exploded. At that moment I just wished it was a truck tyre exploding because other than that I knew it would be a criminal blast! We're all safe. Thanks for the concern! Hope to see you soon! Para hindi OT, I just opened a Nobilo Icon Sauv Blanc 2008 Marlborough. I was great -- mind hints of guava, passion fruit. It was so good that even non-wine drinkers loved it!

For two straight days we were at the Cebu Pac office there, which was just a few meters from where I supposed it happened. We are still blessed, pare. Thank God. Not much here on the wine front. Still opening the same wines hehe Quote Link to comment
