BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEA – Vintage Wine From YATS WINE CELLLARS
One of the most challenging things to do is choose a gift for someone who has everything. Actually it is not as difficult as many would think. And here is the good news – you don’t have to spend nearly as much as you fear.
The solution is wine of course, but not ordinary expensive wines but wines that the recipient is very unlikely to have in his/her cellar. Taking the trouble to find and acquire such a unique wine gift conveys the right kind of message. To do so, one has to steer away from the obvious big names like Petrus, Romanee Conti, Grance, Opus One and Vega Sicilia. A wealthy wine collector probably has cases of these from all kinds of rare vintages. So what kind of wines do we send to such a person?
There are a number of possibilities. It could be a birth-year vintage, meaning a wine that came from the same year as the birth year of the recipient. That’s pretty cute but depending on the particular year in question, it may not be all that unique. Another possibility is to choose a wine from a pretty obscure but good region. Consider a Chateau Grillet (Chateau what?) which is the smallest region in the world, containing just one producer. This is a very rare sweet wine, something that even the most avid collector might have overlooked. There are other hidden gems to choose from also. Very very old vintage wine is another option if price is not a big issue.
There are many more options and staff of Yats Wine Cellars are happy to help you find that special gift for that special person who happens to have everything a person could want from life. Yats Wine Cellars has not failed to accomplish that yet.
Also available from YATS WINE CELLARS are Cuban cigars, Champagne, Single Malt Whiskeys, Armagnac, Cognac, Wine Glasses, Decanters. Rabbit Cork Screws and other Wine Accessories.

Philippines wine supplier known for its line of fine vintage wines, Yats Wine Cellars was established in 2000 to address the requirement of a growing population of wine enthusiasts in the Philippines. Yats Wine shops caters to the discerning client who requires these qualities in their wines: (1) Excellent value (2) Large selection of labels and vintages to choose from and (3) properly aged wines ready for full enjoyment.
The ever-growing 4000+ selections in Yats Wine Cellars can be divided into three categories.
Category one: Top-end vintage wine
Vintages of the greatest names in wine spanning over a century in vintages can be found on the wine list all properly rested and ready to be served.
Category two: Great value vintage wine
Probably the most unique part of Yats Wine cellars, a very wide range of aged vintage wines is offered at mid-range prices of US$50 to 250 covering vintages of the last 60 years. This also includes less famous labels and less illustrious vintages all too quickly written off by wine critics before. These bottles represent the best value for money especially to connoisseurs of aged vintage wine.
Category three: For Everyday Enjoyment
This is an area where complacency frequently occurs in wine selection because of the low price range. YATS pays particular attention to ensure that a low price tag doesn’t necessarily mean mediocrity. Not only so, there are constantly new offerings every month of the year to keep things interesting in the everyday drinking section.
Yats Wine Cellars started off in Clark Freeport, Pampanga, an easy 90-minute drive along the North Expressway from Metro Manila. Category one wines can be found in the cellars of the fine-dining YATS Restaurant and Wine Lounge situated inside Clark’s Mimosa Leisure Estate, just before the Casino. Yats operates the Clark Wine Center – an independent two-storey building located on the main road of Clark Freeport. Here you can find the Category two and Category three wines.
Public wine tastings are held from time to time in Clark and sometimes in Manila. Tickets range from p500 to p1500 for these themed events that are professionally run –no wine merchants sponsorship, pushy salesmen or tacky banners to ruin the evening. Each ticket contains a certain number of stubs that you can redeem for a tasting pour of a wine of your choice among those on a line-up. Very often, the lineup contains wines that are quite old and expensive. This makes YATS Wine Tasting events the most cost-effective venue to explore new options and expand our knowledge of wine through first-hand encounters.
Sister company Y A T S Restaurant and Wine Lounge is one of most wine-sensitive fine-dining establishments in Asia. B Y O (Bring Your Own) Wine evenings occur regularly for wine enthusiasts to enjoy their recent finds over a gourmet meal specially crafted to be wine friendly. The wine list of YATS Restaurant is equally impressive and satisfying to the hard-to-please. Mark-up is small and that makes it the friendliest wine restaurant in Asia.
