bods1000 Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 Pinot noir, cheap wines do me. I'm a simple girl who just needs her glass and a bottle and I'm all good! NZ wines are not the heart of simplicity so i know you're all good all the time.Cheers! Quote Link to comment
georgeice2002 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 You can try Lindemann's Cawarra Shiraz Cabernet, or Dona Paula Los Cardos, or Two Oceans. Medyo limited lang ang choices. Salamat Bods. Will try them (been actually eyeing that Lindemann's). Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Most welcome!Will post later on some other budget-friendly wines. Cheers! I bought that organic Spanish wine and it tastes flat, no finish and mouthfeel. Parang kulang ang balanse ng flavors. Can't really describe it in congenial terms. Not recommended.

masi Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) Haven't been there either. I thinks it's right about this time that they're holding their annual sale. No exceptional wines for me, so I guess I'll have to visit the place to get me some nice holiday treats. It's the usual wine for me every night but I had a shot of Bombay Dry Gin the other night, a bottle of which I bought in Dubai thinking it was a lot cheaper there haha.Mostly been trying out beers on a recent trip. I can recall a Dutch Oranjeboom 8.5% alcohol - not earthshaking as the alcohol content suggested. Also a Pelforth Brune dark beer in a cute snub bottle which tasted creamy and full. In a pathetic one-pub crawl in a Madrid jamon store, had a draft Amstel with a sandwich. Your call on the day and place of that get-together. I will relay to storm. Cheers! Now speaking of beers, I was in Los Angeles early this year and a friend of mine took me drinking. I ordered an ARROGANT BASTARD ALE. My friend said that the beer was specifically made for ME!!! At the Distillery in Libis they serve Stella Artois draught! Another option is BOTTOMLESS MARGARITAS @ Agave! Of course, only after a bottle of wine! Am good on most weeknights. Weekends are all covered. Edited November 22, 2012 by masi Quote Link to comment

If you had picked ROGUE'S DEAD GUY ale, I shudder to think what your friend would have quipped.Yes, and talking of beers we can hold a beer night hehe. Leffe, Hoegaarden, Samuel Adams, Amstel, Stella, Boag's, etc. are all available here. Quote Link to comment

Let's start with a beer night and discuss good wines. Then we discuss a wine night hopefully before the bearded man in a red jumpsuit comes down the chimney. Quote Link to comment

When we were in the French capital, our tour guide mentioned something about hot wine, which they have during winter. Wine sprinkled with cinnamon. I'm really not sure what it is, but it was told to us by an Englishwoman who married a Frenchman, who in her own words said that she came for the man but stayed for the food. Lol!

I can't imagine drinking hot wine! I've tried hot shochu with ume in Japan and hot xiaoxing with ginger in Taiwan. That's a good lesson for the ladies trying to hook western men, for the french, just stay with the food! Quote Link to comment

I can't imagine drinking something alcoholic with ginger. Hey pare I missed something about your previous posts. Yes, The Distillery in Libis sounds like a good place to meet. I'll tell storm. See you! Quote Link to comment
Chi-Chi Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I just love my pinot noir with a passion I can't eat dinner out without it, it will just feel incomplete. Quote Link to comment
