Chateau Angelus in Casino Royale

Someone from Chateau Angelus must have paid million dollar in order that Daniel Craig put the Angelus Label right in front of the Camera? Is it too obvious?

Angelus is a Premier grand Cru Class from Saint Emilion,  especially 1989. Moreover, price is not that untouchable!

Korean Ginsen rice wine

Honesty, when I first saw it, it was not pleasant to look at, the wine is chalky and thick, but once i tasted it!
I found that is very good for Korean roasted beef in Summer. Korean used to take it with bowl, holding it with one hand and drink with big mouthful. The are pleased to be serve full on the bowl as a kind of respect.
The alcohol content is somewhat liek red wine:12%.
It is sweet, served cold and highly recommended with Korean and korean Food! of course, if the Korean Movie star is there, the taste will be even perfect...

Romanee Conti 1985

Romanee Conti 1985 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Cote de Nuits, Grand Cru What makes the DRC wines so famous? Unquestionably, they literally stand alone in the vintage somewhat like the mythical city of Minas Tirith in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, a bright, shining empire that cannot be matched for beauty or power. In vintages such as the 2003, 1999, and 1990, no Pinot Noir in the world comes remotely close to what the DRC achieves. Romanee-Conti's extraordinary perfume, power, and penetration make it special.

The Romanee-Conti is utterly mind blowing. The heady, intoxicating bouquet delivered penetrating and sublime aromas that were even more intense than those from the La Tache. On the palate, there is a veritable smorgasbord of earthly and heavenly delights. It it is very rich, very opulent, and very concentrated. Red burgundy and red wine do not get any better than this - 100. RP / Burgundy. Lot 546 6 bts Hammer Price with Buyer's Premium: 119,500 USD

Caymus 1990

Caymus 1990 was once the best from Caymus, It belongs to one Chap Jim, who is good friend of mine. A few days Ago hethis  asked about the 1990 Caymus. I said that we have been keeping that for more than 5 years. He asked me to open and drink, rather than to wait for his daughter to come to HK for Opening Ceremony. His Daughter was borne as the same year of this Caymus.
I am waiting to open this bottle of wine with Jim and his daughter. Well  I think We can not wait. Let's open on this Friday.

Wine Taster

In an alcohol factory the regular taster died and the director started looking for a new one to hire.

A drunkard with ragged, dirty look came to apply for the position.

The director of the factory wondered how to send him away.

They tested him.

They gave him a glass with a drink. He tried it and said, "It’s red wine, a Muscat, three years old, grown on a north slope, matured in steel containers."

"That’s correct", said the boss.

Another glass.

"It’s red wine, Cabernet, eight years old, a southwestern slope, oak barrels."

"Correct."
The director was astonished. He winked at his secretary to suggest something.
She brought in a glass of urine. The alcoholic tried it.

"It’s a blond, 26 years old, pregnant in the third month.

And if you don’t give me the job, I’ll also tell who the father is!"
