OKie, going down to get one or 2. today Not sure the promo price is still avail., intend to keep the wine for special days.

you going to get the french syrah?
keep in mind they close by 7.30pm or something...
if u intend to keep them for a while, then just make sure u have a wine fridge or something.

if u go there during the weekend, they will have free tasting of several wines. a good change for you to explore some nice bordeaux and burgundy wines at a lower price point.

IVRIG stemless wineglass is modelled after Riedel's "O" tumbler. It's incredible VFM considering it's only $5 each. I usually bring it along for picnics or to places that do not have a proper wine glass. Once inverted, the glass fits nicely onto the neck of most bottles. You only need a single bottle carrier to fit both in, very compact and nice.

HI! I got the small model, the bigger glass ( For Red) i think has been sold out....Will buy it when i pass by there... OR the Smaller glass shd be enough.

the place is quite nice right? they stock a good and diverse range from french wines with good selections from bordeaux to burgundy to loire to rhone to languedoc to provence etc... good stuff. yeah and the service is always good there.

how many bottles did u get? just one or two? if u have a proper wine fridge i still think this wine can go another 3-5 more years, but i think it is peaking within this year and the next 1-2 years. it's not often u get a well made french syrah for that price with close to 10 years on the bottle already.

I learnt my lesson... I got 2 bottles. Cos if i intend to drink it maybe 1 yr down the road and if i like it. I doubt there will be any left...

 

[Beta_Tester]

[ikileo]

u guys can meet up in oct if you'd like but i will probably only be more free next month...got lotsa work to do. in the meantime everyone keep updating here if you have any interesting wine stuff you wanna share or some tasting notes or just questions.

Get the bigger (red) one. It's nicer to swirl.

Normal practice is to buy 2 so that you can open one first and judge whether the second one is due for drinking yet.

Don't have leh... NOw storing it in my cupboard well hidden from any light as i put in a carrefour wine carrier. If really not recommend will bring it to my fridge and put in at the lowest level ( the Veg Section).

Got it during the cold storage wine Fest. need to double check. cos as the event is picnic, i think Chardonnay might be more suitable ( Cool refreshing)... Will update the name tonight. BUT i noticed that there are some particles in the wine...i think from the cock, but looks abit....

sorry i cant help much with choice of wine... and my question is away from your choice of wine too...

drank a Chateau Reynier 2006.... smaller 375.... quite "smooth" & "light" to me but my mum says it's "heavy" ...

someone taught last time if cannot finish, can pour the reminder into those 187s or 200s and screw-capped it.... does it work this way?

anyone tried before? comments? thanks.
