Hello,
I was hoping some of you can help me out, I am from Toronto, Canada and will be traveling to Manila on Aug. to export Canadian Ice Wines and VQA wines. ANy suggestions on who I should approach meaning the type of Wine resellers there. I am meeting with Ralphs any comment will be appreciated.
And by the way we will be holding an Ice Wine and VQA taste at one of the hotels to be determined the closer the date. let me know also your interest.
FYI most of the Ice Wines and VQA have won awards and are highly sought out internationaly.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I wonder if anyone can tell me where I can get some vintage wines, like 10 20 or 30 years old. The ones I see in the shops in Manila are all too young and I don’t have a space for storing wines properly in my home, except for maybe 20 bottles in my kitchen ref. I am sure there must be a place somewhere that I can pick up some bottles that are ready to drink.

Vin santo with creme brulee seems a bit cloyingly too sweet a combination for me,
since I would usually have the classic pairing of Vin Santo with the Florentine cantuccio dry sweet biscuits dipped into the wine to soften a bit before eating. The contrasting smooth, suave texture of the wine against the course, hard, nutty biscuit makes the affinity go down so well.
But then why not? I’ll try it!

BTW, what local biscuit could come close to cantuccini for dipping in vin santo?

MM, Have you tried the locally produced pineapple wine from Bicol? I heard that it’s rather good, and indeed very innovative.

Port is a bit heavy a times for me. Vin Santo… mmmmmm! Thanks MM for the tip! Wasn’t getting any luck from Wine Depot. Ralph I do get some hits on occassion and the Filinvest Alabang branch provides good recommendations… Keep on drinking everyone!

Great wine choices! The sauterne is really perfect with the foie gras. The chardonnay, as should be the case, brought to the fore the flavor of your tuna tartare and not overshadowed it. In fact, chardonnay tends to be heavy and buttery and steal the thunder from the food it’s served with. So don’t feel bad. The Pez, the Farnito, the Moets! Bacchus went over the top here!
