＜袁大文 2011 法國 11 天遊學團＞
Chambord, Chateau de la Renaissance
自由自在、無拘無束、
慵懶自樂的十數天完結了！
終於返回殘酷的現實世界！！
整個旅程的天氣實在好得令人咋舌，
蔚藍一片，
仿如把一塊全粉藍的佈景布掛起，
給大家作攝影背景。
踏足 DRC，Bourgogne 窮奢極侈的世界！
這個旅程獲益良多，
也感受不淺！
要分享點滴 就留待有緣與好友
在把酒談心時再回憶吧！
在這裏簡單的分享一些旅途相片…
說真的：
每年重回故地，
做其悶蛋，
再踏旅途的熱刺心給猛然挑起了，
要再來一次轟轟烈烈的旅程 ……
詳細行程，請看好朋友網誌：

月尾回來再與大家見面！

祝大家有個歡樂的復活假期！

點解標題〝88無窮〞？
因為每支紅酒都有個8字囉。

很喜歡那陣清雅的蜜糖優香及在口中的圓潤幼滑！
出乎意料的好。
少許的老態，
但還是優雅、平衡、骨架齊全。
抱歉這支88 Brunello slightly corked！
我之前試的一支真的很不錯！
已找來了另一支，
下月到港找個機會再試過。
C Sir 話：Best tasting VdT (not the Tig!)
〝誘人但內斂的氣息令人陶醉，
成熟但活潑的酒體令人雀躍。
猛然，已喝掉了一杯。
渴望，可再一親香澤... 〞
開心溫馨的一個晚上，多謝大家捧場！

《已有家啦！》
《轉載》
4月10日晚上 9pm, 小北京狗白飯仔被狠心主人連狗袋+一舊白飯.....丟棄這葵涌區公屋邨一花槽暗位後, 白飯仔一直守候於此, 苦苦等待著心愛的主人.....就是白飯仔不會知道, 牠的主人是何其忍心...??!!!! 直到餵貓姐姐於餵貓時發現, 然後通知此公屋邨另一義工太太, 義工太太正忙著打理流浪貓, 便找來附近的我們去看小北京狗.... 當我走近小北京狗, 再拿起牠的狗袋想檢視時, 小北京狗馬上捐回入狗袋, 於是我也順手關起袋口, 安全地被捉到.... 不過捉住了小北京狗後, 我地義工不知暫托到哪裡, 而且時候也不早, 結果請求一間認識的寵物店暫養1晚, 但寵物店主說明只許一晚, 我地要快找暫托家, 才再找領養吧 ! 由於小北京狗雪白的, 又被狠心主人放舊白飯響佢身旁, 我地決定暫叫佢做白飯仔 !
白飯仔 Info.: * 成年北京狗仔, 未 desex * 晶片+年齡 : 未知, 稍後必到 vet.檢查 * 暫見活潑, 未見有病, 明顯是由前主人洗澡+剪毛後, 才被丟棄, 身體算乾淨 .
請求暫托 [ 或領養 ] 需知 : * 義工會來家訪時, 再談暫托或領養詳情 * 由於北京狗仔未 desex, 義工必於稍後安排絕育, 也會認真處理狗狗, 以免狗兒落入狗隻繁殖家手上 .
請各方好友幫忙作暫托或轉載, thx^^

萬事俱備，只欠東風！
奧巴馬國宴胡錦濤，瑪莉亞港邀眾好友。
同一menu，同一wine list；
不同的是情懷… 只談風月，絕不含政治色彩。
This Orinda-based label from Michael Verlander and Kerry Murphy has set a new benchmark for the powerful style of California Chardonnay, and the Russian River bottle comes from a mix of top sites in the appellation: several parcels of Dutton Ranch, plus about one-quarter from Charlie Heintz’s vineyard (a star in this year’s Top 100 Wines), the DuMol estate holding and Searby. It’s a classic Russian River expression, barrel fermented in 40 percent new oak.
2005 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Columbia Valley (RP100)
Followers of Parker scores are probably nodding right now, for the ’05 Quilceda, from Washington State’s Columbia Valley, followed in the tradition of Quilceda’s ’02 and ’03 in getting a perfect 100-point score from the Wine Advocate. A mix of fruit from three of the state’s defining vineyards – Champoux, Klipsun and Tapteil – it is the very essence of powerful Washington Cabernet.
The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon contains 3% Merlot.
It was aged for 22 months in 100% new French oak.
Opaque purple-colored, it has a splendid perfume of violets, wood smoke, truffle, Asian spices, black cherry, and black currant preserves. Opulent and mouth-coating, the layers of complex flavors nearly hide enough tannin to support 8-10 years of additional cellaring. The oak, tannin, and acidity are beautifully integrated and the lengthy finish lasts for well over a minute.
The Botrytis version is hardly ever seen on shelves, but Poet’s Leap may be familiar as the joint project from Allen Shoup, the former chief of Chateau Ste. Michelle, Washington’s largest winery, and German master Riesling maker Armin Diel.
Limited Production – only 229 cases produced
Connoisseurs’ Guide – 95 points
Wine Enthusiast – 94 points
Wine Advocate – 93 points
