Hello,is this thread still alive?
I don't really know how to go about this but may I just ask straight away?
My parents are about to celebrate their 25th anniversary,so wanted to get my dad somethin special.He used to smoke cigars on special occasions, but money has been tight for years and haven't really seen him lit up. My father doesn't smoke in general, just on those occasions.

I have no idea at all about cigars, so is it possible for me to get any recommendations here?I heard that those cuban cigars goes up to 300 dollars per stick?uh,what can i get for 300 ringgit malaysia instead?Sorry if I intruded. Thanks in advance

too late to reply now, i hope you found something for him if not PM me directly and i will advice accordingly

hey guys, rm5 for hoegarrden..is tht possible? i suspect fake alcohol is already circulating in malaysia even for duty free shops. even hongkong has fake alcohol circulating...im sure the police there definitely is doing a better job than msia.

Per can in shops? Per glass in F&B? If latter, maybe watered down or old stock clearance?



Saw these in changi duty free before but never buy. Based on this forum, curiosity is peaked ...




Untouchable liquid gold

Most people buy and drink label rather than wine, and don't have idea what they are actually drinking.

Manage to taste argentinian mandoza malbec by Trivento (tribu value version, couldn't find the special reserve version), not bad for its' price.
The taste is bold, round, smooth tannin, but aroma plum not so strong, color dark violet. Better than my expectation. I think suitable for red meat / something strong taste.

A friend enjoyed a bottle of Joseph Mellot Destinea Sauvignon Blanc at Alexis the other night.

They claimed that it isn't available anywhere else in Malaysia except at Alexis. Would anyone know whether it might be found anywhere else? Thanks!

Room temperature won't have much effect in cognac and whiskey, normally only effect wines..

Get the bottle and check who distributed it, normally they will have a sticker below the bottle.

Tried a nz kim crawford pinot gris 2009, taste citrus, melon follow by bit mineral and butter, smell not that fruity, but it has impressive taste length to me, the taste stuck at my mouth so long with first sip and the smell came out from my nose too.
Next time want to try the saugvinon blanc...

Hey I've only tried maybe only a handful of different beers but I have to say I like them Hoegarrden, which is strange seeing that I don't like the general taste of beer. RM5 for a bottle? Hmm in Australia grog is cheap, but I think RM5 seems okay-just try it and see- you can taste easily distinguish beer IMHO.

hey fellows...just wondering if there are any cognac fans out there....

i was wondering if anyone of you knows how to get a bottle of conjure in malaysia?

hey can anybody recommend or suggest a place where I can get good wine selections, sit and drink? Something like Vintry, but I feel every time I go there their selection is getting less and less.

Any Armagnac drinker here? Should try out the Chabot Extra, super smooth, light and easy to drink.. superb..!! In my personal opinion will put brand such as martell and Hennesy to shame..

*btw Hennessy and Martell are not Armagnac, it's a cognac..

My humble drinking corner

I love wine. white wine. Went to Pressroom the other day (I always have wine at Pressroom or Brotzeit or La Bodega), and they mentioned this site where you can order wine for delivery... just googled it

One of my favourite is Chandon...

Can Winetalk.com.my be trusted?
I don't see they put their company address at website. Wanna check whether they are selling original wine or not.

Some chilean red price is ~rm20 higher...

Original wine? Most wines are blended even from a particular region or wine maker. Unless one have a benchmark to compare to else most people can’t tell.
