VINTER
I' drinking Perry Creek Cabernet Franc. It's a good complement to fusion cuisine. I would
spend JY4500 on a bottle of wine. My vintage is 1943.

We are drinking Lazy Cat House Red wine and Boddingtons. P: I like to drink it with beer.
M: and I with a cigarette. From a store, we wouldn't spend more than JY2000 on a bottle.
And if we drink enough, it doesn't really matter what our vintages are!

I'm enjoying a '97 Greenwood Ridge Pinot Noir. I like to drink it with sashimi,
shabu-shabu or pretty much anything else. I would spend JY1500 on a bottle of wine. What
vintage am I? A 1959 D.R.C. (Domaine Romani Conti). Good wine. Great year to be born.

Have you ever been ready to wine and dine, but couldn't decide on a vintage to suit your
mood or food? Recently, we at TC found ourselves in that predicament. Instead of whining
about it, we sent our roving reporter out to get some expert advice. We asked: What wine
are you drinking? What do you like to drink with it? How much would you spend on a bottle
of wine? And finally, what vintage are you?

I'm drinking a Californian white wine-it's great with sea bass. I would spend around
JY3000 on a bottle of wine. My vintage? Anything chilled!

I am drinking Perry Creek Sangiovese. I like to drink it when I'm dining on Singapore
noodles. I prefer to spend as little as possible on bottles of wine. What vintage am I?
