Re: Here's an Idea

[Nacho]

Wow!! That's a great idea.

I vote for it. We can make a contest at the meeting and decide wich one is the best, although we already have a winner. Spanish wine, of course!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

[winghunter]

;D ;D ;D That looks like we will have a hard weekend ;D ;D ;D

french cognac, spanish brandy, spanish, french and german wines.

Noel : May be a good Irish single or double malt whisky ? Therewith you will do me a personal favour

[roland]

A really good idea and we will bring a special bottle with us to the meeting.

BTW: The best wine is the wine You can drink together with good friends.

Consider it done Rudy,I love GUINESS,but it won't travel that far,the wine they drink here comes from a shop called "Lidl"I wonder where they are from.

[fabian68870]

I read German wine
Does German make wines
;D

[Falko]

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

hohoho

if you try to give us a little kidding.....

you know that since some time

better wines came from california then from france


and by the way my uncle is a "winzer" - winemaker
with own vineyards i know how to make wine

[doc]

Personaly I like a nice Australian Cheraz Falko, but now you owned up your uncle is a winemaker I guess you'll be bringing us all a bottle each to try ;D ;D ;D
No Blue Nun please.

[fabian68870]

Falko you'r right. But in wine I'm a franco-français.

I always depends how you like your wine. My prefered is a bordeaux called "Chateau Cheval Blanc"
It's a strong wine for men ;D

But actually it costs too much for a wine.
My last 3 bottles from 1976 remain in my seller (I have about 300 bottles) and I'm waiting aa special occasion to open one (this bottle is now quoted 130 euro a bottle

And I also appreciate a good "chateau neuf du pape"

But I'm open mind if you have tips for good German wine...
Because when my neiboug invite us, I always bring the wine....He is German.....And I never drink something good from him....

[winghunter]

Fabian, guess we need to make a stop over at your wine celler ;D ;D ;D

[Falko]

sure i have Fabian
ask my uncle

www.weingut-pension-kochems.de/

to all: its worth to visit that link

you will see the area of the euro-tour 2004

if probs in talking to them - just give me a call


to the french wine
i know a small chateau
( no not kidding not the normal chateau named garages )
a real chateau at the gironde
its called chateau de la riviere
it was the summerplace for some great kings

they have a superb wine
i still have a bottle at home for a special event like getting grandfather or so...

if anyone in france is near that chateau - pls bring a bottle with you....

[fabian68870]

Falko,

Your chateau de la riviere isn't it a Fronsac with a golden label ? If this is this one, it's really a good one.

For my little cellar visit, don't hesitate. But it will be a visit not a taste. But sure I'm ready to open something good if you come.

[Falko]

Fabian you are right about Fransac !!!
have you ever been there
very interesting to visit the cellar

there are tables and chairs made out of the stone
( that means while they created the cellar down in the rock where the chateau is build upon -the took all the stones away till there was only left the table and chairs - like to make a sculpture out of a block )

and more interesting to taste the wine

but if your name is not Rockefeller your in problems only to fill up your saddlebags with bottles ;-)))

[pumuckl]

Is there no Venturer from Italy

I prefer italian vino rosso

[fabian68870]

Hi Falko,

Have a look on this page. A surprise for you....


cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=12490&item=7133113698&rd=1&ssPageName=WD1V

[Falko]

wow
yeah thats it but this is a fresh one only for let him rest in the cellar for 10 or 20 more years ;-))

but if anyone near it would be very nice to pick up a bottle of this or other new stuff just for a small taste ;-)))

[pumuckl]

Doc
I know where I can buy vino in Italy. For example: www.zeni.it
The real problem is - I've never seen an italian venturer ;D

[Nacho]

There used to be an Italian Venture owner in the old Europe Venture mailing list, but it's been more than 3 years since I don't know anything about him.

Regards,

Nacho.
