Sweet Margaret

Sweet Margaret is one of the best whites tasted in Singapore. Very similar in taste to Peju’s Chardonnay from Napa which is premium! You can find Sweet Margaret at Vino Vino near UE Square. Fruity and not too dry. Sweet from Western Australia and value for money (Buy 2 get 1 Free) at Vino Vino and also available at WineBos. A pity there was only 1 bottle left the last time we were there.. we had close to 8 bottles that night alone. We also bought three bottles subsequently for a friend’s wedding. Love it!

Wine Company’s Heron’s Nest

Been a long while since i last had wine…

this bottle is pretty good at first sip but subsequently it was average cos not much after-taste. coupled with the premium cheese platter, was not too bad. slightly dry but relatively fruity. good value for money. one of the better south african wines i recalled. =)

Mouton Cadet 2005

We had this bottle of Mouton Cadet from the Bordeaux region. I know for sure its quite popular and my dad love this wine. Cost was about $25 @ Cold storage. The taste was dry (suckup your saliva) and seems like there’s much tannins in the wine, probably because its a young wine. There was much taste initially and the mid-tasting was quite fruitful and deep. Finish was good. Best for casual drinking if you dont mind the “dryness”.

Note: Take note that there’s blanc (white) and rouge (red) with almost the same label. So look carefully.

Raine: dry taste, strong arouma. just like most Bordeaux (the classic wine)… very french.

Nice and cheap wine from Australia. Comes in a Can form. can buy from Cheers or NTUC for about $7+. I personally recommend this for 1 person drinking. nice middle taste. got more depth. good finish also.

[will update this post once I open this can]

Tip: Small size allows u to “smuggle” into not crowded restaurants and refill ur own glass of wine. Can chill out longer !! =)

Raine: one of the weirdest.. wine in a can? obviously can’t compare to the bottled ones.. though it’s not one of the worst taste.. do it to save some $ but definitely not to impress gals..  even plain water in pink bottle will impress her more.. hee~

Rawson’s Retreat. Cabernet Sauvignon

hmm.. not the best cabernet souvignon i’ve had.. but not too bad for $21 in singapore.. penfold’s not bad even though it’s from australia.. cabernet souvignon is always a safe choice, esp with steak..

Perfect value cabernet souvignon at $21. Easy to drink for beginners who likes to try wine tasting.  Good to go with for beginners again who likes to try them with red meat!
