MANILA, Philippines - Couples can have a romantic interlude at Wine Story-Rockwell on Feb. 12, Wine Story-Shangri-La Plaza Mall on Feb. 13, or Wine Story-Serendra on Feb. 14. They may opt for the Valentine special offer of P3,500 per couple, or P2,000 per head.
Among the wines that can be sampled at Wine Story is World’s End Crossfire Cabernet Sauvignon from Andy Beckstoffer’s vineyards. World’s End Crossfire is a richly-layered wine with bold notes of blackberry, deep black cherry and a long finish. Other great options are M. Chapoutier Crozes Hermitage Les Varonniers 2007, a very stylish wine with notes of blackberry, pepper, tobacco and cocoa and lingering black tea and iron notes on the finish; Chateau Bernadotte 2006, which features a sweet cherry nose with a hint of vanilla and a fruity palate; and Dr. Loosen 2009’s Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese, a wine which opens with a mild and attractive peach bouquet, and tantalizes with notes of apple. The 2009 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese is light-bodied and graceful on the palate.
