The Magic of Burgundy - 勃艮第的魔法

I never believed in the existence of magical power, for as much as I'd love to have it, it was never real. It wasn't until my birthday this year that I realised perhaps I could be wrong for all these years. Magical power does exist in this world. It was there all along. Well the magical power I encountered was of course in wine.

At my birthday dinner this year, carrying over a hangover from the night before, my kind brother-in-law slammed a bottle of 2006 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru "Les Baudes" by Geantet Pansiot on the table, I thought "hell no! here we go again.". But since it was brought along as a gift to celebrate the creation of me! OK I poured myself a weee glass... then something magical happened.
After one generous sip of the wine, I was magically brought back to the real world. It was like an instant cure, a potion made from the ancient vines of Chambolle Musigny.

Never expected a burgundy would cure a hangover.. but hey.. it worked its magic on me!!

CC: "surprising dark brownish red, sweet ripe 06 fruit, leading on to silky smoothness, and a mellow finish like it was never leaving your mouth. MAGICAL"

ALL BLACKS -- 全黑狂迷

Finally the 2011 Rugby World Cup is over and All Blacks sealed the deal over the French!

What a 'nail biting' finale it was and at last Webb Ellis has once again found its way back to Aotearoa.

To show my support to the ABs, I decided to 'crack' the french open before the game. Festive drink for a Festive day!

START -- 首

To kick off this blog like never before, an extraordinary introduction is the least I can do!
Flicking through my moleskine tasting book I found her. A special gem only the special ones or keen wine fanatics would get to taste.

Domaine Leroy Savigny les Beaune Narbantons 1999

CC : Brown garnet in colour displaying its age. A breeze of dry prunes, raisins and ripe dark forest fruit came and greeted me. 'please drink me it said' !! Smooth silky texture glided through my system, strength, concentration and balance in one. Developed it has! and there it finishes with a tint of smokiness which I loved! A Gem
