Denise Tasting Again

Again, we pop open some bottles of wine at Denise. K pop open an interesting can of Caviar for us. If i am not wrong, K's sister has took it from the A380 flight recently.

The Black Pearl: Ok, I know this is very expensive, but a SGD4.50 lumpfish caviar will do just fine for this poorman (me). Probably the Malossol Caviar is creamier, softer and with more fragrance but i do not think this justify the price tag. Buy Lumpfish caviar and you would be supporting the prevention of the destruction of wildlife salmon as well!

Vigfússon used the fund's $35 million to buy out commercial fishermen from Greenland to Norway. Along with payments the fund often finds new, more environmentally benign work for the displaced: For example, Vigfússon helped Greenland's fishermen become the world's largest exporters of lumpfish roe, a poor man's caviar


Louis Lequin Pommard Les Noizons 2002: Typical cherry nose, medium body. Detectable tannins and acid. An average wine not for the long haul. Not interesting. Skip.

Chateau Belregard Figeac St Emilion Grand Cru 2002, 50SGD: Muted nose. Biting tannins. Too young. Now showing much but abundance of mid and acidity. Open up after 45mins with some currant tone. Not interesting. Skip. In comparison, for the same price point go for the Ch. Teyssier (60SGD) or Le Fleur Bourd (79sgd)at the same shop. Remember to decant for 1-2 hr before drinking
