bods1000 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Having an ALAMOS Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina...Comites non recordabor. Vale.Bueno bueno! HeheI love partaking of wines which are special to a region, or country. So it is a malbec from Argentina, a pinotage from south Africa, a shiraz from Australia, a pinot noir from Oregon, a zinfandel from California, any white from NZ, a Riesling from Germany.

floppydrive Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Wow, It's been some time since my last post. Seems business is doing well, Bods! Will have to look for "Fork It Over" - looks like a good read. I don't know exactly what happened with the sin tax, but prices didn't rise dramatically. Could the wine houses and distributors adjust the price so as not to significantly affect the customers? Been drinking Shiraz-Cabernet lately. Balanced flavor, nice berry notes that go well with meats from roasts to stews. Quote Link to comment

Yours or mine? If yours, well congratulations! We need some catching up to do here. All the regulars in this thread are gone. Good thing you're still here. Yeah FORK IT OVER is good. Maybe I'll read it again. And also Jay Rayner's book. I forgot the title. Also Simon Majumdar's EAT MY GLOBE, where he goes all over and eats anything. This book is dear because he went here in Manila and fell in love with kare-kare and balut. Check it out pare.Me, I've been drinking anything that's cheap as long as it's wine, and shiraz-cab is an eternal favorite. Cheers! And boo to that infernal sin tax, which fell flat on its face.

I was referring to your ever expanding business ventures, sir! Too bad the old wino folks are out already. Thanks for the other book leads. Was able to read Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential - very entertaining sensationalized memoir. Light reading with some kitchen short cuts. Been trying to find tempranillo, but I don't see Torres wines anymore. There are other Spanish wines out in the market, but tempranillos are rare or expensive. Was given a bottle made from toro grapes (close or same variant as tempranillo) that had the unmistakable finish. Nice name too - Gago Wine. http://vintuswines.com/estates/telmo_rodriguez/toro/gago Hope the local distributor brings it in, despite the unique name. hehehe Quote Link to comment

It looks good but it's always difficult to run these things. I hope you're also doing well in your endeavors. Miss those winos. Maybe they're out to pasture, or fittingly, out to vineyards hehe, I read that Bourdain book about a decade ago and I was mighty impressed that time. But looking back on it, and having read similar books, I'd say that Kitchen Confidential is some puffy self-serving volume. Plus I don't think Bourdain is one hell of a chef. Maybe if he was less of a celebrity than he is now, his books will be more credible. There are lots of tempranillo at Barcino's. I just buy the Altozano. Good enough for my undiscriminating taste, but more importantly, better for my pocket haha. Your mention of that Gago wine reminds me of that Argentine player Fernando Gago. Everytime he got on the pitch, or was passed the ball, or dribbled or when the World Cup announcer said his name, I would break out in uncontrolled giggles.
