bods1000 Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 yeah Magnotta has an establishment in Niagara region (Beamsville, On) and another one in Vaughan, On but they have stores all over maybe about 7 stores in Ontario. I just actually tasted their wines last year when i started my gift basket business..kc i was also looking for non-alcohol champagnes and stuff. Try checking their website for wholesale informations: www.magnotta.com and the company profile. They have online store din. Sa NY kaba or sa Pinas? I was able to try this greek wine when we went for food and wine tasting for a wedding i was coordinating...anak ng tinapay di ko maintindihan lasa..kaya scratch agad sya. I mean have you tried tuba(a visayan liquor made from coconut extracts)? It's worst than that, it doesn't go down smoothly..maybe it was just one of those cheap variety. Di ko na tiningnan ang brand dismaya na ko e. Sa Pinas ako, pare. Are you in Canada ba? I don't know about Greek wines - medyo siguro hindi pa mataas ang winemaking skills nila plus hindi siguro magaganda ang grapes na tumutubo dun There's a resto in Rockwell called Mati and it serves Greek fare. I saw in their wine lists several Greek wines pero I don't know if they're good... Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 pwede kayang i lift ko na lang from their website yung iba? can i post it here or do i have to go to the Cooking thread? I don't know if you can do that - baka kasi may mga copyright ang mga yun pero if you can do that it's a nice idea to post it here plus in the Cooking Thread. Quote Link to comment
freakish Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Sa Pinas ako, pare. Are you in Canada ba? yeah sa Toronto ako. Mga hour and half away from Niagara, but Vaughan is nearer so i was able to check out their winery there. Tsaka tourist magnet kasi yung mga wine tours and tasting nila din kaya popular.

Tsaka tourist magnet kasi yung mga wine tours and tasting nila din kaya popular. It's nice to live in places that make wine. Nandyan lagi ang mga winery tours, besides which you can buy at their cellar door. In fact, some wines are only available at the cellar door and not sold in any other retail outlets.

freakish Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 tama ka dyan...lalo na yung mga vintage nila na limited edition na talaga mabibili mo pa dun pro wala na sa retail/wine stores. Pricey nalang talaga. Okay yan sa mga collectors at wine drinkers talaga. Quote Link to comment

Madalas nga yung mga medyo expensive ang available sa retail - their lower-end but good wines sa cellar lang mabibili. Quote Link to comment

bods1000 Posted August 4, 2004 Author Share Posted August 4, 2004 PUNT - the indentation in the bottom of a wine or champagne bottle. Serves two purposes - catching sediment and reinforcing the bottle. WINE-BUYING TIP - the deeper the punt, the better the wine. This is an unoffical guide for me - never is this mentioned anywhere Notice how the cheaper wines have shallow punts. As the price increases, the deeper the punt goes - although one cannot safely assume price to be an indicator of a bottle's goodness. Nevertheless, looking at rows of unknown wines in a shelf, I always "feel their bottoms to see how deep they are" :evil: . The shallow ones I ignore - the deeper ones I try to consider buying. Never fails. Quote Link to comment
Spurt Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 good after noon bods, we have about 2000 cases arriving this 7th Aug. (all robert girauds- differrent variants- i like the chateua cotes de rol) I know you know about FTI taking 80 % of all Caldbeck wines right. Quote Link to comment

Dekampanilla Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Went wine tasting at Napa Valley a few years back. I have a cousin who worked his way through college by working at the different wineries during the summer. I had a blast. Went home red faced and drunk..... Quote Link to comment

I really have no idea why this is so Yung nga talagang elite wines, halos kalahati ng daliri mo maipapasok mo sa ilalim - ganun kalalim yung punt nila. Yung mga cheapo na walang kwenta, halos flat na ang ilalim Quote Link to comment

Masarap talaga pumunta sa mga wine-tastings. Over here, I really take advantage if there are any. You can drink anything you want - halo-halo na - whites, reds, whites, reds - grabe ang tama Quote Link to comment
