freakish Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 hello...ako din pasulpot sulpot lang, just want to share about this ordinance in toronto that is in effect now...kinda customer friendly.. customers who go to restaurants for dinner can bring their own bottle of wine without being charge for corkage or anything... at least patrons will not be forced to buy wines (they don't really like) from restaurants. If they do order wine from the establishment (by glass) and liked it...they'll be able to buy what's left in the bottle at bottle price(whatever the term for that, hehehe). Some restaurants though have reservations regarding this ordinance...but it's getting popular with wine lovers!!! :cool: I can't remember the exact reason for this ordinance but i know it was something to do with family togetherness (whatever that means),...and of course, tourism!! la lang!!

bods1000 Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 I'm reading this book about a fellow who travels from Spain to Scotland by bike. In one of his sojourns in a rural town near Seville, he gets to share a bottle of wine (tinto they call it) with some local. No glasses were available, but the locals there seemed to have mastered the art of drinking by the bottle. This they do by holding the wine bottle by the neck and proceeding to chug-a-lug WITHOUT the bottle touching their lips :cool: Anybody wanna try this stunt if and when we have an EB?

bods1000 Posted April 21, 2005 Author Share Posted April 21, 2005 Alfierie, of westin philippine plaza gives Wine Buffet everyday, hmmm daming tasty choices there !!!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ongoing pa ba ito? there's a new Wine Depot along Julia Vargas - kaya lang medyo maliit ang space nila - nothing like the cavernous one in Makati...They got a sale of Brookland Valley wines - from P1000+ down to P850....Brookland must be good as it comes from the Margaret River region of Australia...the wines there show French characteristics as the climate there is Mediaterranean, not unlike other parts of Australia where the climate is super hot... cheerio, folks!

masi Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 nice posts....i am wondering if what is the most ideal storage for wines? I plan to have a mini winery in my attic. The temp there is kinda hot. so what do i need to keep my wine stock in good condition. thanks<{POST_SNAPBACK}> the attic maybe the worst place to keep your wine. as you mentioned it gets hot there..try to keep them in a place in your house where the temperature is mostly constant. a corner in your garage, sala etc. as long as the bottles dont get moved around too much. keep them on their side. try back reading... much has been said about proper storage. good luck.
