December Events

December 02, 2012
Theme Bordeaux 1855 Royals + Napa Cults
Venue Chef Jessie Rockwell Club
Location Amorsolo Square, 23 Amorsolo Drive, Rockwell Center, Makati City
Date Dec 02, 2012
Time 7.00pm

Dear fellow members,

What we had last night will go down in the history of the Society in the Philippines as the best attended event and most memorable event when the best of Bordeaux and Napa came together in one offering to its members.  For this, we must again thank Joe Ledesma who so generously parted with 40 bottles of his best wines for the benefit of the Society and, as he said last night, because he also wanted to make up for his absences and meet his fellow members many of whom he had never met before.

Members in attendance numbered 42 (of 69).  From all indications, it was a most enjoyable evening of magnificent wines, fine food, and great friends.  All the wines showed up as they should with the food staying discreetly in the background. 

Here is the link to Noel Ermitaño's notes on the Bordeaux 1855 first growth ++ wine dinner last Sunday on his site, Eye on Wine,

Noel's objective assessment of fine wine and food that he has reviewed over the years, including this recent assemblage of the best wines in Bordeaux, has made him - through his blog - an important point of reference for wine and food lovers.

Best regards,

Oscar

Theme "Kris Kringle at Choi Garden"
Venue Greenhills
Date Dec 06, 2012

Since several members who attended the Commanderie dinner at Choi Garden last August 30 enjoyed the food that Bernie and I worked out, we decided to hold the dinner to keep things simple, more relaxed and enjoyable while having great tasting Chinese food and wine.
