I checked, crust gourmet pizza (u can google them) can deliver to boon keng. Nice gourmet pizza which costs $23 on average and can feed 2-3 pax. We can order 3-4 pizzas and some sides and I don't think it will come up to more than $20 per pax.

But yes we should assign ice people as well.
Decanters needed?

Hkm+1 Red
Ikileo+1 Red
Ikileo friend
Looiwte +1 Red White
Starhappy +1?
Reign +1

Pizza seems to be a good idea and I am ok for that. If we order pizza then we can save on the disposable plates & cutlery.

I can take care of the Ice but need to know how many whites we have to estimate the size of ice bag. We also need water and it will be good if someone can buy 4-5 bottles 1.5L mineral water.

As mentioned I have 1 ice bucket and 1 decanter. My red do not need to decant, just open and let it breath for some times should be sufficient. How about other reds?

Hi guys,

Just realised it's 'Eat With Your Family Day' this coming Friday.. I will be having dinner with my family, so I guess I will have to miss this session this time round.

Sorry for the last minute pull-out. Hope to meet up with you guys next time!

I think Grand Vin do carry them. Received their mailer some times back in March for offer on a range of Vérité's wines. 2007 was $363 (same price for all 3) each. Tempted to buy because these are all RP100 wines but i didn't place the order because it was still very expensive to me. Simply because of a perfect score fr RP the price shoot up double or tripple

I am not sure if the price still valid but you can call them to check.

 

[hkm520240]

My friend will be late as he has dinner appointment with his boss and colleagues (On eat with your family day?! oh what a boss! ) which he cannot skip.

He will reach probably around 8+pm and please count him out for the pizza. Thanks.
