Everything about his town is wonderful, the people, the vibrance, the pace... But there is one small problem - it is difficult to get older vintage wines. Yes, there are a lot of good labels but all of them require another decade or two to mature. I am only here for 3 years. I need something I can pick up and drink this weekend, not 5 years later. Can someone point me to a wine shop that specialize in old vintage wines? By old, I meant 20, 30 or 40 years old. Unfortunately I am a little spoiled. I can't enjoy drinking young tannic wines. Hope to get some help from out there. I have recently moved to Manila on a 3-year contract.
