再次遇上James Bond最愛-Ch. Angelus
“Fashionably late” 到達一個並非很Fashionable 的event. 兩星期前的一個晚上(3/25, 星期五)我到達了香港島香格里拉的夏宮(Island Shangri-la’s Summer Palace). 我實在不太cool,（只因fashionably late的 解讀應是頗cool地遲到; 而意思是你不會擔心因遲到而錯失了好東西罷）我卻一直擔心著. 擔心著一些好酒, 我可能已經錯過了。 這是第二晚被Acker Merral & Condit邀請的pre- auction dinner. 特別招侍着美國Nappa Valley的 Caymus及我非常喜歡的Chateau Angelus。John Kapon (Acker’s President) 給我介紹了Caymus酒莊主人Chuck Wagner後便跟Mr. Wagner 談上他的Caymus. 喝著說時, 我看到原來Hubert 正在拐角處。 跟Caymus 酒莊主人 Chuck Wagner談上他的Caymus 「It is so nice to see you here Hubert，記得我嗎？」 「oui, bien sur！How can I forget such a … Read more
隻身出席”New Bordeaux “晚宴
到拍賣會好玩 – 就算你志不在拍賣任何東西. 坐在拍賣大廳，看眾人神情認真; 舉起手上的拍賣牌(auction paddles) 又或者你只是閉上眼睛，聽拍賣鎚敲打聲. 一樣好玩. 被Acker Merral & Condit 邀請到剛剛上周末的拍賣會. 這次拍賣隆重推出「跨越四世紀拉斐堡 (Château Lafite Rothchild) 珍釀系 列 」,備受矚目. 這批稀世珍釀,精選了Lafite 由 1799 至 2003 年間, 70 瓶上佳年份的出品, 囊括了所有Lafite獲最高評價的年份, 是來自當今世上其中一個最顯赫的私人珍 藏 , 陣容鼎 盛,世間難求. (我還末能面對這些東西是那麼昂貴的 事實 – 估價約 140 萬港元呵!) 跟以住拍賣一樣, 一定有著不同珍貴的Bordeaux 酒拍賣罷. 這次拍賣另一焦點為一個極具份量的頂級Bordeaux佳釀珍藏. 由一位 顯赫藏家多年來悉心蒐集而成,整個珍藏總估值高達1,200萬港元. 其中 一批共15瓶1983- ‐2002年上佳年份的1.5公升裝Le Pin, 估價約40至56萬港元, 預料將引起藏家們之熱烈競投。1.5 litreX15?? 可喝到天昏地暗呵! 拍賣會(Auction) … Read more
Seeing Angelus again
Arrived at Summer Palace, Island Shangri la, Hk “fashionably late” in this not very much of a fashion event. I was in fact not too cool (as you won’t worry of being fashionably late when you were right?) kept worrying if I’d already missed some real good wine. It’s the 2nd night of pre-auction dinner … Read more
Alone at the New Bordeaux Dinner
Auction is fun, even if you are not intending to bid anything. Being in the auction hall, watching people raising paddles, looking serious or just simply close your eyes and hear the sound of the hammer is funny. Got invited to Acker Merral’s auction this coming weekend. The sale features an incredible superlot of “4 … Read more
