Clark Wine Center

Published by Clark Philippines on December 10, 2009
Clark Wine Center www.ClarkWineCenter is owned and operated by Yats Wine Cellars www.YatsWineCellars.com, a subsidiary of Yats International group of companies www.YatsLeisure.com.
Wine lovers all over Asia know of this place and make the trip to Clark Philippines to load up on rare vinage wines that are often cheap in comparison to prices in their home towns. Moreover, old vintage wines especially those that are not that famous are hardly seen in Asia. Asian wine lovers and collectors stick to big names. As a result, Lafite, Petrus and Margaux are plenty but real wine connoisseurs don’t drink the labels. They go for better values in the Cru Bourgeois for Bordeaux and the lesser known domaines and negociants wines – especially the 1er cru wines – in Burgundy.
Yats also operates a fine-dining wine restaurant called Yats Restaruant and Wine Bar in Clark Philippines www.YatsRestaurant.com. It is located inside the Mimosa Leisure Estate which also houses a 36-hole championship golf club called Mimosa Golf, as well as a casino. Clark is packed with action, so wine shopping aside, there are other meaningful things to spend some quality time. Yats Restaurant can cook up all sorts of gourmet meals. The chef is from London and the maitre ‘d is from Holland. This is certainly an international outfit.

The trip from Shanghai is not exactly short but with hundreds of tourists heading down there with plans to purchase vintage wines to bring home, there’s got to be some magic in that 2-storey wine shop.

Yats International Philippines opens wine shop called Clark Wine Center, a leading wine supplier in the Philippines, established in 2000 to address the requirement of a growing population of wine enthusiasts in the Philippines. Clark Wine Center caters to the discerning client who requires these qualities in their wines:
Excellent value
Large selection of labels and vintages to choose from
Properly aged wines ready for full enjoyment.
The ever-growing 4000+ selections in Clark Wine Center 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 Clark Wine Center, 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 really great 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.
Clark Wine Center 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 one 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 can be redeemed for a tasting pour of a wine of 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 a very cost-effective means to explore new options and expand our knowledge of wine through first-hand encounters.
Wine Seminars have been conducted in the past and may be offered from time to time. These seminars deal with intermediate to advanced subject matters that are aimed at providing useful and practical knowledge for the wine enthusiasts. Topics are focused and treatment, in depth. Most seminars include a guided tasting session after the lecture. This adds “lab” experience to knowledge acquired.
Wine-paired dinners are organized either at Y A T S Restaurant in Clark or in collaboration with other restaurants and organizers. Unlike wine dinners organized by a wine merchant, the wines in Yats wine dinners are not confined to a narrow range of selections. Yats Wine Shops do not need to “push” a narrow range of products like Chilean or Australian wines for example.
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-bottle) 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.
