Philippines Wine Supplier offers wines for weddings

clark wine center — Mon, 24 Jun 2013 09:27:09 +0000

Wedding planners and wedding couples might be thrilled to hear that finally there is a wine supplier in the Philippines that cater to the special needs of wines for wedding receptions. Those who have attended wedding receptions and wedding dinners in Manila and other cities in the Philippines should know that very little attention is paid by the wedding caterer to the selection of wine. As a result, most guests leave the event feeling disappointed about the wedding dinner.

Now there is one wine supplier that offers special services to wedding couples and wedding organizers in the Philippines, helping them to organize their wines for a reception party or wedding dinner in Manila or Pampanga. Leading wine supplier in the Philippines, Yats Wine Cellars offers wedding wines that fit the budget but the wines are no less interesting than those one would encounter in a wine dinner in a top fine-dining restaurant in Manila.

Moreover, this wine supplier in Manila offers consultancy to help wedding planners design a classy wine list which includes interesting wine notes to entertain guests who are wine lovers. For such an important once-in-a-lifetime affair, wedding couples would not want to take a chance with a poor selection of wines for the wedding dinner leaving a bad impression on the guests and a blemish on an otherwise perfect evening to be remembered for many years to come.

Here in these wine tasting events that feature the pairing of food and wine, guests experience somethng new while adding to their own experience of how to select wines to drink with different kinds of food.

On Friday, 30th November, 2012, the owner of Yats Restuarant in Clark Philippines is hosting a private wine-pairing dinner. Ordinarily this kind of wine dinner would cost over php3000 per person but these private wine dinners are priced only at p1500 because the wines come from the owner’s private cellars and they are not factored into the price for the dinnner. Highlight for this dinner on the food side is the lamb rack from Mongolia, a rare treat for fans of lamb in the Philippines. On the wine side, each flight is special but fans of Bordeaux wine look forward to the Pauillac Grand Cru Classe which is, as expected, served with the Lamb dish. The dinner will end with a sampling of cheese accompanied by a nice Tawny Port.

Fine Dining Yats Restaurant Main Dining Room

In previous wine dinners, guests had a bit too much to drink. History is also certainly going to repeat itself this Friday in Clark’s fine dining restaurant. Looking back, it is clear that despite the portioning of wine to ensure otherwise, gentlemen tend to have endure the burden of finishing some of the wines for the couple. However the host has not heard much by way of complaints for causing the guests to feel a litle tipsy towards the end of the meal.

These wine dinners are kept very small, preferrably just 8 persons. Occasionally, a wine and food pairing event will expand to 14 to 16 persons but the wine dinners will not be larger than that. The privacy and exclusivity of small dinners enable guests to relax and unwind in good food, fine wine and some congenial conversation among good company.

To book your seat at this private wine dinner, just call Danial Mereweather at 0915-794-6077 or if you are traveling from Manila to Clark for the long weekend, call Rea at (02) 637-5019.

Bookings are accepted only in advance. Portioning of food and wine makes it difficult for the restaurant to accept last-minute reservations for these private wine dinners.

Wine suppliers in Philippines offer wide range of vintage wines from France, Spain and Italy

clark wine center — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 04:11:55 +0000

Although new wine hobbyists are satisfied with young fruity wines from current releases, seasoned wine drinkers and connoisseurs require a certain smoothness in texture as well as depth of flavors and a sense of complexity that can only come from matured vintage wines from certain wine regions of the world, such as France’s Bordeaux, Burgundy and Rhone as well as Spain and Italy.

1992 Chambolle-Musigny, 1er Cru, Dom. de la Tassee, H. de Boileau

Many first-class restaurants and wine bars in Manila are starting to obtain vintage wines from this wine supplier in Philippines to bolster the matured vintage sections of their wine lists. In doing so these wine bars and restaurants in Manila win back wine-loving customers and increase the revenues of the establishments.

Wine Tasting Seminar on Food and Wine Pairing given by Yats Wine Cellars in Makati

clark wine center — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 06:37:17 +0000

Yats Wine Cellars holds wine tasting seminar on food and wine pairing in Makati, Manila on Saturday 17th November, 2012.

Yats Wine Cellars holds wine tasting seminar on food and wine pairing in Makati, Manila on Saturday 17th November, 2012.

Leading distributor or fine vintage wines in the Philippines Yats Wine Cellars will hold a public wine tasting event this month. This event shall focus on the art and science of pairing wine with food.

This public wine tasting in Makati, Manila to be held in the Ayala Heritage Library in Makai on Saturday 17th November, 2012 is another rather special event.

This event is a wine tasting seminar dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and experience in the art and science of pairing wine with food. Although the pairing of food and wine is subjective and personal in nature, there are however fundamental principles that can serve as useful guidelines for sommeliers as well as food and wine lovers looking for ideas on how to select the right kind of wines to enjoy with certain a certain dish.
.

The dynamics of food and wine pairing will be discussed over a 30-minute seminar. This is not a full-length seminar. Knowledge of techniques as well as palate dynamics is not required for participants to enjoy this event. The seminar is intended to go through the fundamental principles of food-wine pairing as well as some useful guidelines to follow when selecting wines to pair up with food.

This is then followed by tasting of various kinds of food-wine pairings. The tasting is designed to illustrate the principles at work in real-life matchups of wines with different kinds of food.

Five flights of food-wine pairings are served during the course of this event to illustrate the different basic strategies and principles of food-wine pairing.

For this event, we have selected as venue, the cozy but small Tower Room of Ayala Heritage Library at the Ayala Triangle in Makati, Manila. It is our intention to keep the participation small – up to 16 persons only – so we can have more interactions and plenty of opportunities to share ideas and ask questions too.

Please note that this is not a wine dinner. Being a tasting the food portion is purposely kept small. Pouring size of the wine will be the usual 60ml. The event will start promptly at 4:30pm and ends also promptly, at 6:30pm. Participants are asked to be punctual.

Ticket price is php1500+VAT. Tickets are sold in advance.

This is one of those wine-tasting events that novices and seasoned wine drinkers can enjoy equally. Even for those who don’t drink wine regularly, attending this event might result in their expanding their preferences for alcoholic beverages.

Yats Wine Cellars is the leading importer, distributor and supplier of fine wine in the Philippines. It is also lauded by food and wine lovers for its work in educating the community of wine lovers in the Philippines not only in the appreciation of high-quality wine but also in the fine art of pairing food with wine.

http://www.YatsWineCellars.com

Pairings are served in flights. Participants are well advised to rinse with water after each course so that their palates are refreshed and ready to appreciate the nuances of the next pairing.

Due to limitations in food preparation facilities of this venue, the food will be prepared off-location and slightly re-heated for serving. Understanding that this tasting is not an exercise of gourmet food tasting, we hope that the participants will forgive the crudeness and perhaps focus on the pairings instead.

As with all wine-tastings held by Yats Wine Cellars in the past, the objective is always to offer a convenient and cost-effective opportunity for wine enthusiasts to enhance their knowledge by tasting different kinds of wines side by side. There is nothing more revealing and informative than a comparative tasting of wines in a well designed lineup.

The five fights of wine-food pairings selected for this wine-tasting session are:

The five flights of food-wine tastings are:

Caesar Salad
1999 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons, Lamblin et Fils

It is a shame that wines are often missing on the table when a good salad is served. Admittedly vegetables are not a wine’s strongest ally but it also doesn’t mean the two should go their separate ways either. For more intense salads such as the ever-popular Caesar, the wine is not matched up against the green (Romaine lettuce in this case) but the rich and savory dressing. This medium-age Chablis is chosen for only for its vigor and lemony nose but also for its fresh acidity to ignite a synergy when it meets the Anchovy at the base. What one must avoid in the wine for this pairing is oak flavors. That would ignite something rather unpleasant on both sides.

Mixed Liver Pate served on Toast
1977 Eiswein, Niederthaler Germany

Three aspects are being introduced to each other with this pairing. First we start with the texture. A slightly coarse mixed-liver patè is chosen. The grainy texture of the food makes the wine feel a little bit more velvety on the palate. The high percentage of fat in the food makes the palate feel awfully tired and sleepy. Sweet wines are among the most acidic of all forms of wines. The acidity of this Ice Wine is called upon to cut through the fat in the liver making it feel a bit lighter. Lastly this old vintage Eiswein last shed some of its youthful unctuous sweetness. Its medium-intensity sweetness prevents the wine from cloying our appetite.

California Maki
2011 Traminer, Durnbert Altes Kreuz, Austria

Sake and Sapporo draught are probably the classic choice for just about all kinds of Japanese cuisine but just in case we really want only wine on the table or in the picnic basket, the safe play is a fruity white wine. Not just any white wine because flavor matching isn’t the only challenge in this game. Weight is something that is far too often overlooked in a match-up. This Traminer from Austria is no featherweight. Once the flavors agree, this pairing is really about matching up pound for pound. Other good wine options include Cote-du-Rhone Blanc and maybe a good Rias-Baixas.

Grilled Salmon
1990 Corton Marechaudes, Grand Cru, Prince Florent de Merode

The doctrine “Red wine with meat and White wine with fish” is about to be thrown out the window. Be that as it may, pairing red wine with seafood is still tricky business. The culprit here is iodine and some fish are just oozing with it. Those fish would reap havoc in the presence of red wine. Luckily Salmon isn’t one of those. Salmon is rich and savory but it is still a fish so a heavy red wine will overpower the food. Too much presence of tannin in the wine will ruin everything with any fish but acidity is welcome as it is required to “cut” the richness of the Salmon otherwise the combination will feel flat and flabby. This Grand Cru red wine from Burgundy’s famed Corton commune has reached an age where the astringency of youth has mostly been shed, leaving with us a smooth elegant and complex Pinot Noir that not only matches the flavors but more importantly the weight of the Salmon.

Vintage Port served with English Blue Stilton Cheese in Yats Restaurant

Small Platter of Blue Cheeses
Porto, Douro, Imperial Rouge, Daniel Sanders

If it is just one single cheese on the platter, a Cropwell English Blue Stilton for example, then one can be rather bold and reckless with the choice of Port. But when there are several kinds of blue cheese on the board, I would be more conservative and go with a port that is less tannic, not so cloying and with not so much chocolate flavors. This Imperial Rouge from Daniel Sanders provides the right combination of sweetness, structure and acidity. It may not be the perfect match for any particular cheese in front of us but it brings more out of all the cheese when enjoyed together. This is another good example of how contrasting the wine and the food could somehow result in perfect harmony.

Police told: Don’t destroy gambling TVs

clark wine center — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 06:07:41 +0000

POLICE and local government authorities should not destroy television sets used in illegal gambling activities as they could endanger public health, an environmental group said Thursday.
The group EcoWaste Coalition said television sets, particularly the old analog units, that are seized from illegal gambling operations contain huge quantities of “chemicals of concern” such as lead, arsenic, mercury, and also flame retardant chemicals.
Lead, for instance, is a toxic chemical that could interfere with brain development.
“The intent of ensuring that sequestered TV sets are not reused for unlawful gambling activities is good, but it should not be done at the expense of public health that is already bearing the brunt of chemical releases from discarded electronics and other contaminated wastes,” said Thony Dizon, coordinator of the EcoWaste Coalition’s Project Protect.
The group appealed to the authorities after Metro Manila police chief Leonardo Espina led on Monday the manual destruction of several units used in “video karera” (VK) and “fruit game” that were confiscated in Caloocan City.
The group also cited a statement of Engr. Geri Sañez of the Environmental Management Bureau who advised that confiscated television units should be sent to government-accredited facilities for proper recycling.
The EcoWaste Coalition has made the same appeal in the past, saying the practice of smashing televisions with mallets or sledgehammers is turning the gambling problem into a “real chemical pollution with far reaching implications.”
The group also said it has monitored reports detailing previous destruction of VK machines in various cities and provinces.
From February to May, Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim presided over the destruction of about a 100 VK machines, according to the group. About 190 VK machines were also destroyed this year by authorities in Caloocan, Laguna, and Cavite. (Emmanuel Louis Bacani/Sunnex)
