u guys like ripe grape or not so ripe grape wine?
some me feel like drinking brandy...
but i prefer those more ripe n more alcoholic 1...

i think tats the right way la... but kinda waste...

why waste?

the spit out part la waste... but that only when they trying the wine right?

The funny thing is that when many young Americans (college-age) go to Europe, they all want to try absinthe, since it's illegal in the US. I see it all the time, especially in eastern Europe. Never tried it before though.

Cigar ain't for me, can't stand the smell. Whisky... might have a sip here and there. Wine is more my thing though. Been collecting fine wines for 11 years, have >80 bottles now

What wine do you collect?

3 crates cheap red wines. heheheh =80+

liquar also good

I want to try Cigar but I dont have any info about it. Thanks sliver2c for a long explanation. So newcomer cigar is cost around 35/piece right? How long it can stay?

there are different pricing for cigars, there are even RM10 cigars which you can get from 7-11.. but yeah talking about pure tobacco its about RM35 each.. they can last about 30 mins - 1 hour depending on how you smoke them..

Thats a good collection you have there especially the grand cru's from bordeaux, is it bonded or already in your home.most of my collections are bonded, mostly meant for investment. the haut brion and margaux should be ready for drinking now or you planning to sell it?

My Cos and Conseillante cases are bonded, currently stored in the UK. Mostly for investment, but I only buy what I like to drink anyway, and I like both chateaux, especially after visiting both of them last year. Currently looking to pick up a few cases here and there, as I expect prices to come off this year. Maybe get a few cases of '08 en primeur.

The single bottles like the Margaux and MHaut-Brion are for drinking.. usually on special occassions at home or a nice restaurant. Recently opened a Pavillon Rouge '94 over a dinner at Lafite. It was great. Chef Damon is funny and cool, and makes real tasty food.

you get your en primeur from sure holdings or you source yourself? I use to go to lafite a lot but have not been there for ages. hows the food there I stop going after Huza left

My en primeur is via Berry Bros & Rudd in HK. They are a UK company, with proper bonded storage facilities in UK. Lafite food is pretty good now, very innovative thanks to the current chef. Imagine some influence along the lines of Fernan Adria in presentation and you will know what I mean.

You got their contact details, I am looking for pomerol and margaux vintage 2005, will try lafite one of these days seem interesting especiallly with Adria influence
