Chateau Palmer




Palmer has been quite a surprising Chateau and it is very much under valued for some of its top wine...
Remember 4 years ago, Lisboa Hotel's restaurant cellar had about 150 bottle of 1961 Palmer. Thta might be the world largest collection of 1961 Chauteau Palmer!

Some of the wine has to be Re-corked, The owner of the restaurant invited Palmer technical staff to come to Macao to perform the recork works!
They brough their equipment, and a team of two wine experts to perform the recork: a process of removal of the old and spoiled cork with certain equipment, and taste see if the wine are still in their live condition. Top up with other bottle for the loss due to leakage after year of storage. The total Charges for such record took Mr. Stephen Ho over 1 million dollars.


At that time 1961 Palmer was valued about HKD$50,000 a bottle, The wine were about 8 Millions!

We had removed all taxation on imported wine from 80% to 0% 2008. Hence we can really enjoy the good wine at a reasonable prices now!

Attached is a wine dealer price for Chateau Palmer! A RP99 Palmer is now HKD25,000! A Real good price for a three hours wine tasting

A glass of wine

To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine... And those who don't.
As Ben Franklin said: In wine there is wisdom,
In beer there is freedom,
In water there is bacteria.

In a number of carefully controlled trials, Scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, At the end of the year we would have absorbed More than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. Coli) - bacteria Found in feces.

In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop..

However, We do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) Because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.

Remember:Water = Poop
Wine = Health.

Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, Than to drink water and be full of shit.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service!
