[Baggio10]

vineyards specifically or individual producers?

'cos the interesting thing about Germany vineyards is that the plot of land can belong to several producers who divide up the vineyards.

serious? i may visit Saar this November, may like to drop by some of the yards over the weekend, any recommendations?

Hi guys,

Yes, no problem with the menu price and timing. Just checked with them, bringing our wine and glasses shouldn't be a problem. See ya guys then.

Going down taka later during lunchtime. May drop by isetan scotts to get some wine. Bro ikileo, I remembered you recommended some wine from there right?

 

[ikileo]

at taka, take a look at the Enoteca wine store at the basement.

at Isetan Scotts, take a look at the rieslings section, but they do have a relatively robust spanish section as well that's worth checking out. i love spanish wines.

Bro, got reds or moscatos? I rem you mentioned a wine 07 Alain Graillot Crozes-Hermitage?

 

[ikileo]

yup that's at isetan. a 100% syrah from the northern rhone and a good producer. you can try it to see how different a rhone syrah is from an aussie shiraz. you should decant it or let it breathe for a while before drinking.

hey guys,

those attending the makan tomorrow, please let me know whether you are ok with the menu that Saveur has proposed:

Starter 1:salmon confit
Starter 2:angel hair pasta
Main: beef short rib
Dessert: Chocolate souffle to end

This is within the $20-$25 range. I will confirm with them on the final price.

bro, went isetan just now and showed them the name of the wine. 3 assistant came to search for it but cannot find. Then when i was abt to give up I saw it just in front of me la! BUT.... they only have 08 and 09s are they as good?

 

[ikileo]

get the 09...that's a very good year. hold it for another 1-2 years before drinking. best if you can wait until 2014

Alemak bro, I got the '08 instead cos there was only 1 bottle '08 left and tons of 09 still there...

i am getting them to see if they can make changes for her. are there any other dietary restrictions?

08 was a decent year and should be ready to drink now. 09 was a better year but you can't drink now, unfortunately. buy both and compare it's a good way to see what the difference is among the same wines from a different vintage.

Wah... 08 have to drink now, while 09 have to drink in 2014. How would I be able to remember how 08 tasted 3 years later

 

[ikileo]

buy the 09 and drink both next year should be fine.

@Swirl: i have gotten them to change from beef to duck confit. Is your wife ok with this?
I have reign's and looiwte's contact number, could you PM me yours?
