Wine

[ikileo]

i suggested this weekend already, i'm just waiting on them to see the response first.

as for location, personally i'm not really a person who likes to pay for ambience haha. Wine Connection i frequent but not on weekend cos you have to pay an extra of $10 on top of your bottle price if you wanna consume on a friday and saturday. Denise wines carries a good range but the nice stuff might be a little out of the general budget. as for Winebos and Wine Network i cannot comment as i've not been there.

for me why i enjoy food courts is that it's much cheaper and i get to eat food with my wine instead of paying $10 and above per plate of finger food at a wine bistro etc...sorry if i sound too cheapo but i also don't really want those who are just starting on wine to unecessarily spend on the extra nice stuff. that's why i actually rarely visit winebars nowadays cos i know most of their distributers and buy direct from them haha...

Hi I am perfectly fine with food courts, but can we have a central location? So easier for everyone to meet, dont have to be orchard road since their food court is like restaruant/cafe price.

This sunday I am free, I am all up for it. But timing?

 

[ikileo]

we've got 7 pple on the list now waiting confirmation. i would like to ask u guys if you want to open up for an 8th person? in this case POWER789

Lol, wth, so fast ah, it was a suggestion, now so many people liao. I think nvm then, join next time lor......Since too many people can be quite difficult to gather and talk.

 

[Beta_Tester]

Bro, i let you know by tmr morning.

 

[nautilus]

Sunday should be fine. Let us know the time and location.

@Beta_Tester: I need your help to confirm with the other mod and your malay friend. keep in mind, it looks like it will likely be a food court thing so check if they have their own glasses.

@ikeleo: what wines are you getting? 4 bottles right?

4? no lah... just 3. beta_tester won't be able to make it..i'm just confirming the people right now including the other guys that beta_tester went to jio. hopefully in all is about 5 or 6, then 3 bottles is fine.

i haven't settled on what wines i wanna get...hopefully something that can be useful for teaching rather than something that might be too 'complex' for a new palate. but of couse, i won't skimp on quality.

3 would be just nice for 6 pax

 

[Beta_Tester]

i join the next time. Will have to attend some seminar.. my bad..

 

[ikileo]

so just need some consensus here...

what would be the ideal maximum amount per bottle? $30? $35

if it's $30, then 3*30=90
90/6 = $15 per person for the wine

IMO, $30 max is fine as I probably can find stuff that's well below it.

 

[nautilus]

$30 or $35 is fine with me.

 

[Delusion_Disorder]

Glad to see any good recommandation for any nice bottle on/below S$35.00 .

 

[Delusion_Disorder]

Very nice / good value bottle in S$30...

Ch. Doisy-Vedrines, Sauternes 2003 (half bottle ie. 375ml)

P.S. don't know why I am not allowed to post any picture... (when I did that without problem last few days)

Modesto's ...nice

What will be a good wine to buy from the Airport. My friend flies here and there so sometimes she will ask me what i want.
