Tonight's treat - Vin d'Alsace Gewurztraminer, France 2008

so although have to work tmr i decide to try the gewurztraminer i got yesterday :)

Turn out I like this as of the last one! (if not more!!) This is the 2nd gewurztraminer I've - I like my white fruity, sweet and NOT dry. This gewurztraminer i tried tonight has a strong lychee smell and after taste (stronger than the 1st i remember!), very fruity, and sweet. I think maybe a bit TOO sweet but it's still okay :) not dry at all (in which, come to a surprise as Alsace is usually dry accordingly to wikipedia)

Its taste is very easy and before i know it i've already finished 1st glass (ha, and now on 3rd glass)... definitely one of my favorites - and it's only $98 a bottle!!! Must on my "buy a case" list :)

Drink Drank Drunk

After 大食會 @ Kim's 同個 friend 傾起酒經, 撩起我 D 酒癮 *LOL*

So today went to Sai Wan Ho and hoping to get a few drinks from Vino - but man, they're CLOSED AGAIN (i wonder if they're still in biz!!!) oh anyway, so my friend told me Marks & Spencer actually got some nice white so instead went over for a visit - and here's my "harvest":

From the left (the regular bottle)

• Gavi, Quadro Sei Single Estate, 2008, Italy ($68)
  Never try this before, recommended by skin goh. will give it a try later
• Chardonnay, Barossa, 2008, Australia ($98)
  This should be pretty safe as chardonnay is always one of my favorites :)
• Gewurztraminer, Vin D'Alsace (Affelation Alsace Controlee), 2008, France ($98)
  Gewurztraminer is one of my favorites' grapes, already in the fridge now and will try later tonite. ;)

From the left (the smaller bottle)

• Chardonnay, Vin de pays D'oc, 2008, France ($25)
• Sauvignon Blanc, Alta mira, 2008, Chile ($25)
  this one is recommended by the M&S guy, he's the one who "reminds" me that getting 6 bottles will get 12% discount! hahaha... so will try this before my Gewurztraminer
  
• Semillon Chardonnay, South Eastern Australia, 2008 ($25)
  

The overall experience in M&S was nice - i was looking at Gewurztraminer and this M&S guy already recommend a few selection :) and 6 bottles (even small one!) will have additional 12% off! cool~ the total is only HKD$300.9 after discount! not bad at all (w/ this amount i probably only got 2 @ Vino's!) too bad M&S doesn't have a cheese section to go w/ the wine(and i forgot the name of the cheese we tried @ Sky Lounge the other nite).

oh well, it's okay :) Drink Drank Drunk XDDDDDDDDDDD

Movie Review: Love in a Puff 志明與春嬌

there's quite a few interesting movies showing during Easter holiday. Chosen Love in a Puff to begin this 5 days wkend with:



The story is a very simple love story, so simple that may happen daily around us. It's very light, not as heavy as 歲月神偷. Although the movie is almost 2 hrs, and the story itself doesn't have much 'climax", it's not bored at all as the best part of the movie are the actors' conversation in between - which did a great job to draw audiences' attention all along. Those Hong Kongese type of jokes really makes the night! :)

For the actors' performance I think Shawn (余文樂)'s acting is the best -very natural and a lot better than I remember, really "眼前一亮"... Miriam is okay but i think some times she's still a bit "too much" and over.

From the ghost story setting at the beginning (i thought i went to a wrong movie! great joke from 彭浩翔!), to smoking inside 7-11 (for real??), "ga-mei" smoke (hahahah), or "in 55!W !" ;) I've enjoyed this movie A LOT, although I'm neither a smoker (nor a "regular" foul language users) *LOL*

really love this 小品, gave you a very warm feeling, just brighten up your day! :) guess b/c of all the 親切 local jokes. A great dating movie (if your other half doesn't mind the foul languages) LOL this is one of the funny clip at the end (warning: content is rated R with sexual and foul languages) XDDD

《志明與春嬌》電影精彩片段 - 愛情入屋之乜x都冇

I am not sure about the earning for this movie, however if HK movies keep up a standard like this I'm sure more ppl will go to watch them in cinema more often, rather than just those big hollywood one.
