QUOTE(timidandslow @ Dec 22 2019, 12:39 AM) hello mr physician, its a well known fact that most laymen fail to differentiate between cheap wines and expensive wines during blind tests. why are you even disputing this? I already told you how I discern and differentiate good quality from mediocre wines. You obviously had no idea what I was talking about - and used your limited scope of knowledge and googled a few choice words, tossed with a sprinkle of motherhood truths and juicy sound bites - in an attempt to make sense of an erstwhile unexplored paradigm.if your palate is able to differentiate then props to you. but if you claim to be a man of science then you should not dismiss numerous research and articles. what are your credentials to dispute the evidence at hand? are you a renowned wine tester or soommelier? no you are a physician and therefore a layman. in summary you didn't do your home work and now try to make it personal. That famous quote often (mis)attributed to Mark Twain or Abraham Lincoln comes to mind yet again in your instance. QUOTE(timidandslow @ Dec 22 2019, 12:25 AM) hahaha you snobbish bastard, looks like neither law nor wine tasting is your forte. First, you insult me on a personal level when you know nothing about me apart from what I am willing to reveal on this forum. The presumptuous arrogance.if you were prosecuting for the attorney general, najib would be freed of all charges by now. are all the Singapore foreign talent physicians so deluded to think that they are better qualified than actual wine judges? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_wine_tasting [ Some blinded trials among wine consumers have indicated that people can find nothing in a wine's aroma or taste to distinguish between ordinary and pricey brand ] Secondly, you neither have the necessary vocabulary nor the required intellect to conduct a coherent debate - here, let me illustrate how you painted yourself into a corner: you assert that wine tasting is absurd, but then you try to sneak in another personal insult to say that I, as a foreign talent, in Singapore, would know better than actual wine judges. If the first argument is correct, the second argument cannot stand. Which can only mean that you don’t even know where you are on your stance. Thirdly, for someone who’s been called out to be a boastful fraud (it simply is not quite the RM300,000 you so boldly trumpeted now, is it), you sure have no shame in strutting and preening your face, picking fights and making a nuisance of yourself. I wonder why. Are you that lacking in self confidence in real life that you need to feel superior on a forum like this? Does winning a hypothetical argument mean that much to your empty life? I’m happy to concede whatever you feel like accepting - if only out of pity for you. |

And again, the personal insults keep coming, it’s the scraping of the bottom of the barrel, the desperate measure of last resort, the only fallback he could offer as a comeback - “to get personal”.
Because that requires neither talent nor intellect. Only an utter lack of class. |

QUOTE(timidandslow @ Dec 22 2019, 01:14 AM) self-congratulations again, so soon ? Yours isn’t a retort any more than yet another random collection of snippets. Don’t try to steer the discussion into whether or not I’m an expert on wine tasting or otherwise - I stated clearly for the record (which interestingly, you have not quoted because it doesn’t suit your rather insipid line of argument) that I *can* discern wines from certain appellations and I have a preference for those appellations because of how my body reacts to the wines. don't jump the gun yet, I have posted a retort to your latest tirade. Please, don’t think too highly of your so-called retort. All you’ve done is just to dig a deeper hole of shame for yourself. At least until your new dupe comes online. Anyway, I grow tiresome of this. Your intellect (or severe lack thereof) no longer interests or amuses me. You are now on my /ignore list. I have better use of my time than to waste it on people like you. |

Lazy explain to you with words since you will just negate every sentence of mine, right? |

I don’t wish for my experience here on the forum to be sullied by his unsolicited, uneducated and uncouth drivel. Some people may be ignorant, some may be intellectually inferior, and others perhaps lacking in social graces - it’s rare to find someone which embodies the least attractive features of all 3 such personas in one. |

QUOTE(ClericKilla @ Dec 21 2019, 09:08 PM) Hello hksgmy ladytarot99, Not for day to day drink for sure... Bold, fruity, oaky... However, after few years in a cellar it would become soft, fruit-filled, and elegant. I’ve tried 2000, 2005 and 2009 which well known as one of the golden years for Bordeaux wine. For petrus, I find out that 2006 less acidic, earthy, sweeter, ripper fruit and fleshy. I would vote for the same year also for Mouton Rothschild😁. Margaux, 2005 and 2009 all the way.. no luck yet to try the older one.Breakfast yesterday was in a French inspired cafe run by Americans.. Half cafe half furniture shop interesting idea you indulge eating in a cafe but with furnitures they intend to sell. Going to celebrate my Xmas in plane flying back for the first time, maybe trying to complete my dissertation since Ayam has been on holiday past 2 weeks eating, walking, enjoying. Uncle HKSGMY, regarding you wines how did you manage to import in? Do you have import license? I am struggling to move some of my wines back to Malaysia. Please provide some guidance for the young one here huhu Never tried 06 Petrus before, but must be special person + special wines to makes it unique lah.. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(hksgmy @ Dec 21 2019, 09:44 PM) Anyway, to continue on ladytarot99’s theme: Awesome!!! ❤️❤️❤️ 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 What a beautiful dinner. I’m pretty sure Mrs had a good mood and a good time 😉. I think we should make a new thread about “gastronomy” in another sub. I’ll be back to SG 1st week of Feb. Return to KL on monday, staycationing around till next month/year 😅 as we prefer to go during CNY. Enjoy Japan... another level or Cuisine’sart and travel.. Happy Holidays for you two Lovebirds!! 💐Tonight's was a sumptuous dinner, to make up for the torrid morning session at the surgery. Wife felt like she needed to unwind, and so we brought along a bottle of the 2009 Mouton (this by far, was our favourite vintage - 2009 was an excellent Bordeaux harvest, bar none) and headed over to our favourite rubber man 3 star-rated restaurant... Please pardon the quality of the photos - half the time I forgot I needed to take photographs and had already chomped into the meal in front of me before I remembered, and also, this is the first time I'm posting from my iphone. One of the starters (the other was something else that I swallowed before the camera was whipped out, sorry): this was small little potatoes dressed with some herbs and edible flowers and topped with a more than generous serving of caviar: ![]() Followed by an additional dish (they call it a supplement to the prepared menu) - langoustine. It's a succulent, juicy, super tender version of lobster: ![]() I know we had foie gras before the langoustine and something else after, but again, my mouth was faster than my finger, so sorry, no pictures. The main course - Omi Wagyu beef, medium rare... It. Simply. Melts. In. Your. Mouth... ![]() Desert soon followed the palate cleanser and ice-cream (which again, I forgot to take photos of): ![]() Finally, the bill... for a table of two: ![]() Not a bad way to end the work week - and I have my Hakone holiday to look forward to next! |
