Lipstick Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 (captain) gustav niebaum actually founded inglenook in 1880 honga pala, i'd like to squeeze an eb with you, masi, and the gang into my very tight schedule. either sep 1 or sep 2, perhaps?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Sana kasama ako dyan sa collective na "the gang" Mabibgyan na naman ako ng award ni Bods nito. How much???? What vintage was it? That's high! Even with duties and such it should be around USD200. I saw some at Costco the other day for $105. Didn't pay much attention to it (personal biases - I am upset at their wine tasting policies at the winery) but I think it was a 2001.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>It was a 2001 Mr. Agxo3! And at a Duty Free Shop at that! I am told that a couple of years back it was already costing some PhP10K in Manila when it was available. Which reminds me, Lips - A_ngel is from Vegas. Didn't know she was going to be there this week! I've been off the OS board for a while now - it degenrated into a 2 person chat room for a while and I had no patience for it - but for a while it was really nice.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>ooops there I go again choking on my foot! Kala ko LA si A_ngel! Pardon my ignorance but what is the OS board? Quote Link to comment

pinoy_strigoi Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Sama ako!!! Let's burn together baby! MP3s I mean. Naka eto na ... lumalabas na ang hilig sa bebots! And no, not the wine. Well pinoy .... i reckon you better start prepping yourself for that table wine. And waitamonument! What's that privy joke with the Nuit hah???!!! Oist Pinoy, we grew up daw in the same country? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No private joke with the Nuit. I staeyd in Bangkok with my parents in the mid-70s for about a year or so, but never really got to speak the language or imbibe the culture kasi medyo rebelded ako at ayoko kasi dun nung una. Studied in RIS, 10th grade, and was member of the basketball team and the 10th grade band. Noong andun ako si General Yan (lolo ni Rico Yan) ang ambassador. My father worked in the UN. My conversion moment was in Bangkok, when my father started bringing home Barton et Guestier wines, Chateneuf du Pape, and Pouilly Fuisse. I also had fond experiences of attending cocktails at the Russian embassy and dousing myself on real vodka and three types of caviar. I remember the caviar was overflowing in three large bowls. Large orange caviar, the small black ones, and some gray ones (Beluga, sevruga, and another one). Hay naku, makes me long for the 70s and 80s. Sarap naman ng buhay namin nun. Sarap sa Pilipinas din nun. Quote Link to comment

So General Yan was the amabassador there for a loooong time when I lived there. We must know each other in some strange way Pero kung mid 70s at 10th grade ka eh baka grade 1 or 2 pa lang ako noon.

I can't recall the principal but I do recall strict Sister Elizabeth fondly. Maraming cocktails sa embassy nga at kung saan saan pang gathering and being a pinoy in Bkk at that time was almost like being a diplomat because we just about got invited everywhere! Pity I was wayyyy too young to have any alcohol at that time. oh!!! that's dangerous.. and i thought i have been such a good boy to deserve being bound and whipped! ok! no circus.. just a singing group!!! with a lady and 3 men... this could easily pass for glady's night and her pimps!!! tama ba to? pips pala!!! eagleyes, are you sure you still want to meet us this september and have that drink?! hahahaha... it will be a riot!!! and a fun one!!!!<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Nyahahaha di ko alam eh mahilig ka din pala sa BDSM pare!

Yung mailiit na itim. I know you can relate to a biscuit of caviar downed with a glass of Dom Perignon ca 1986. Heaven heaven heaven but in reality now, gastos gastos gastos. Di balke may itlog na lang ng maya-maya o salmon roe courtesy of bods. Yung Dom na lang problema natin. Quote Link to comment

bods1000 Posted July 19, 2005 Author Share Posted July 19, 2005 You said it, pare! This is the BEST thread in MTC to be on. Wine does bring people together!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> did I hear best thread? let's all drink to that!!!cheers! Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted July 19, 2005 Author Share Posted July 19, 2005 It's primarily a cab, but blended in the Bordeaux style. The 2001 is 89% cab, 5% merlot, 3% cab franc and 3% petit verdot. The 95 I love so much is 88% cab, 6% merlot, 6% cab franc.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> thanks, pare! I think that for the edification of all viewers and lurkers here (myself included), I think it would be best fif you post what wine grapes go into what appellation - like Bordeaux is mainly cab or burgundy is pinot that sort of thing. I'm not familiar with this since Europe names its wines by location and not by varietal..Thanks! Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted July 19, 2005 Author Share Posted July 19, 2005 It's open na! Called Per Se. Small - only 15 tables! All meals are prix fixe - $175 a person. He also has a bistro called Bouchon also in Yountville, and another in Las Vegas called Bouchon Las Vegas in the Venetian Resort. Which reminds me, Lips - A_ngel is from Vegas. Didn't know she was going to be there this week! I've been off the OS board for a while now - it degenrated into a 2 person chat room for a while and I had no patience for it - but for a while it was really nice. I will be in Vegas next month (right in the middle of my kitchen remodel! Good timiong, huh?) for a school reunion and will make every effort to go visit Bouchon and have dinner there. IF I am successful in my endeavor, I will post a review.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> pare basta sa resto up-to-date ka talaga ha how is Per Se doing? All the top chefs in NY were trembling in their knees when they first heard that Keller was setting up shop there... Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted July 19, 2005 Author Share Posted July 19, 2005 this is not abit surprising bods! most filipino restos carry the sinigang na ulo ng salmon and i practically devour the fish head - lips, cheeks, soft tissue and tendons!!! if the broth is prepared right, as in "naglalaban and tamis at asim" this dish is tops!!!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I love the salmon head teppan in a certain resto hehehe...

Just sms kung tuloy - I can drop by if schedule permits Quote Link to comment

bods1000 Posted July 19, 2005 Author Share Posted July 19, 2005 Naku OT na naman ako nito. Teka - Cabernet rules!!!O ayan di ako ot niyan ha!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> hahaha don't overdo it, pare - post lang ng post teka OT ako ah - it could be coincidence or maybe it's now part of an overwhelming trend - pero the last two bottles I had were both of the screwtop variety. One was a weird grenache-shiraz-mourvedre-touriga blend and the other a pinot - both Aussies. Well it was nice and dandy - the flavor kept well even after 3 days, but I miss pulling out cork and besides hindi nadadagdagan yung collection ko ng mga corks - which by the way sends the missus into fits whenever she sees the garapons where I keep the corks Quote Link to comment
