sunshine after the winterstorm eeyeh~!~

yesterday i walked around 45 minutes in the thundering snow storm..chilly winds and pilling snows on the road was all the obstacles for me to Banville and Jones, my ultimate target on getting a hand of a Bordeaux + Burgundy wine. I was distress when first finding out that the address given to me was wrong, according to GOOGLE!!! I was damn pissed, but there was no turning back, so I decided to venture further down the road, hoping to find that slim glimpse of hope...

walking further down the road, i had a feeling of dizziness, vision became blur..i was about to collapse onto the ground, but i found something convincing, which i am SURE it is Banville and Jones..and guess what, IT IS!!! all the tiredness from the 45 minutes walk just vanished into thin air, and i start to explore the wonderful world of wine in front of me!!!

there were tones of variety all around the shop, from accessory to cheap wines to uber expensive wine, and to be honest, i can't imagine to see a REAL CHATEAU MOTOUN ROTHSCHILD presenting in front of me!!! They have the 95, 98, 03 and several other vintage of it, I even took a picture with the most expensive 03 vintage one (CND 690++!!) and a wine from Chateau Le Pin (2,100 CND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Travelling to the top 5 vineyard in france had always been my dream, which are Chateau Motoun Rothschild, Chateau Lafite Rothschild, Chateau Margaux, Chateau Latour and Chateau Haut-Brion. I had seen one of the wine from one of the vineyard, the next, is to earn enuf money and actually drink them!!!

last but not least, i got a CONFIRMED placement in Burgundy!!!!! I get to go to FRANCE!!!!! OH MY GOD!!~~!! Words can't describe how i feel now to be honest, itz just superb!!!~!!!!

death

Dead, as simply as that, a reality everyone faces in a daily basis. We aren't just aware, but we might die in every single future seconds, given the fact that ANY accident might occur that kills.

Are you afraid of Dead? For me, dead is just a cycle one must face. I fear no death, but I fear that one day if i really die,it would cause sorrows and sadness to my love ones, especially my dad, mum and brothers. no other bonds are even a match family. Grandpa passed away during Xmas, may he R.I.P. he left us, but we are the ones who carry the sorrow and have our lives to continue. Sometimes, I feel death, itz just a way to escape reality (not saying my grandpa) especially for those damn suiciders..bunch of crap man.

Once asked by my friend, if one day you get cancer or w/e disease, what will you do. I told him, I will rather chose a quick death rather than spending my parents hard-earned money. Now, I changed my mind. I wouldn't die to a pathetic chronic disease. I would survive, and by all means, cause I don't want to let my loves one carry the sorrows of my leaving.

Gosh, what the heck am I talking about today. nyways, to live is to fight, i will continue fight on. TO LIVE!!If death had taken its role, i would face it wif vigor and sanity!!!

serius thoughts

recently, my blog has lots itz purpose. it had became a mere playground for me to clown about myself and updates on my foolish daily activities. Why? because i am not putting serious thoughts into blogging anymore. In short, it has lost itz pure and initial purpose that it is supposed to be.

what brings me to think of this? Olivia's blog. She mentioned things of what to really input in your blog. Something meaningful, able to share your happiness, or even appraisal of some other being. My blog was used to be like that, and now, see what it had became??

don't get me wrong, im not emo. I just really have to blog more maturely, instead of blogging like a highschool kiddo, bragging about this and that. people change, but the root of your mind doesn't. maybe i am meant to be like that? well, i deny it and i will change for the sake of maself.

and also dude, please watch your mouth. you think you are so interesting and cool, but in truth you are just damn bloody bored and lame. people are just too kind to critique in front of you. bear that in mind, no matter how true you think you are by exposing ur true self to the others.

last but not least, be urself, but be the best of urself, instead of being the worst.

alas

alas

La Forge Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

No picture this time, but I noted down the name =)

Description from the internet:
Heavy weight bottle, full, rich, lashings of raspberry and blueberry. Great length. Alcohol 13.5%.

My Thoughts:
Excluding Black Nobel, so far this is far superior than the Pinot Noir(Argentina), Carmenere(Chilie), and Merlot(French) I had. Perhaps personal preferences may explain?? Carbenet Sauvignon, full bodied, rich flavor, high acidity and high tannin. These are the words decribing the core cabernet sauvignon I guess. From the good stuff I drank, the woody aroma covered the fruity flavor of the wine itself. At first I was confused, it wasn't the earthy soil aroma that Carmenere brought, yet not as fresh smelling as Pinot Noir that I had. It is just heavy oaked, woody aroma I shall say. The fruity profile does came along after a while, but not as strong. However, the wine itself provided the crimson, warm red color which is not as colorful as Carmenere I had. Made the mouth feel a little harsh, has a little bitter onto its taste and the finished was rough yet satisfying. Now I know my flavor profile for wine: Heavy bodied, rich flavor, and probably not something sweet and sour like White Zin or other white wines.
Cheers~~~
grab a glass and drink ma friend =)

Description for a Carmenere wine:
Carménère wine has a deep red color and aromas found in red fruits, spices and berries. The tannins are gentler and softer than those in Carbenet Sauvignon and it is a medium body wine. Although mostly used as a blending grape, wineries do bottle a pure varietal. Carménère which, when produced from grapes at optimal ripeness, imparts a cherry-like, fruity flavor with smokey, spicy and earthy notes and a deep crimson color. Its taste might also be reminiscent of dark chocolate, tobacco, and leather. The wine is best drunk young.

Description for Ventisquero Grey Carmenere 2005:
Deep ruby red wine with aromas of black fruit such as blackberries, mixed in with notes of black pepper, traces of vainilla and a delicate smokey tang. It is a well-structured wine with smooth and velvety tannins, ideal for exotic food, meat on the grill, ripe cheeses and strong fish.

What I feel:
First opening the wine and while smelling it, an aroma of the woods, moisten soil in the forest was all i sense, nothing fruity, nothing like spice. My friends even feel like the wine itself has a rotten mushroom sense -.-'' However, it gives me the feeling of a Pinot Noir, just not as strong, acidic, and spicy as a Pinot Noir. The base is not heavy, more towards medium light, and has a really smooth finish. Mades the tounge feels a little itchy (in a good way) and very pleasant feeling. However, I set the wine aside in a carafe for an hour, and guess what, the natural aroma was all but gone, save the fruity flavour arising from the carafe itself and made the wine smells really nice. I guess the trick is, set it aside for an hour to rid of the overwhelming "aroma of nature", and we would have a pleasant wine tasting period (without rotten mushroom taste?? lol)
