last week Horo's Wrist Scan Session Watch & Coffee was Great. this week will also be a Liquid/Watch Friday Scan but with a Different Flavour. let's see what's on Your Menu for the upcoming Weekend . Sorry for such a short Notice. i don't expect everyone t...
Calon-Ségur
Calon-Ségur is an old favourite third growth of mine. Always liked the label and the heart. Lovely photos. Andrew
Nice!
I like the last picture with the blue watch dial that matches the blue bottle in a good way. Really good!! Regards Anders
For sure a really good one. Have you ever tried
Jacques Selosse Substance Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut?! Oliver
Just a glass ...
Ice, lime, some good Vodka (Ciroc in this case) and a drunk MCM. The MCM survived the immersion! Cheers and a great weekend to all This message has been edited by nilomis on 2011-08-18 11:50:39...
Spirit Resistant... I tried the same last year, with a TTP and a glass of beer. :)
The watch was more resistant than me. Best, Nicolas.
Beer!! No way!
I was expecting a good wine. But, as far I know, the MCM can outdrink any of the PuristS. Cheers
Almost one...
A real "Caipiroska" requires more lime and sugar. A real Purist never orders one with Vodka but a "Caipirinha" (replace the Vodka by Cachaça). Then you have a hangover of solid proportions! Muito obrigado.
You mentioned vodka.....
of course the real thing is Cachaca, uma boa pinga! I admit to prefer vodka. Cachaca voce toma e nao levanta mais, mas e mais "Purist", legal! Um abraco Francois
I would drink it for sure ...
Very strong contrasts, especially between the black strap, the lemon and the steel : Very nice Best, Mark
Now that I like!
Great Prince, Julian. I love this dial. Can you tell us more, or perhaps a post on the Rolex Forum? Congratulations! Andrew
Sure, I will post more on the Rolex forum but my latest Prince ensures I now have one for
every day of the week! Crazy I know. It is an uber rare Stainless Steel Brancard with a lovely dial. Morrored finish Chronometer grade movement! I think in terms of rarity 1. Silver 2. Gold 3. Striped 4. Stainless steel 5. Platinum
Great addition Julian
Your pictures are great as well.Enjoy your new addition and HAGWE. cheers,dreamer
A perfect association, Julian. Sure taste, for sure! [nt]

Thanks very one. I posted some more pics on the rolex forum here.
Hope to show all the Melbourne people at the next GTG Julian
Rarely seen on this forum...
Hi Julian, these Princes are rarely seen on this forum... it seems to be a Ref 1490 in a Rolesium case? Good taste - congrats! best Erich
Did you know that WR = Whiskey Resistance?
Well, it is a dive watch... Just not sure what kind of dive...
what a selection of single malts Melwenti
Glenmorangie Lasanta and Quinta Ruban are amongst my favourites.I did not know much about them until 3 years ago when I attended a dinner ( food paired with single malts ) in Sydney sponsored by LVMH . I noticed in your picture the Glenmorangie Lasanta ( ...
Haven't tried the Quinta Ruban... yet.
But since I like a port now and then, probably worth a try! Can always count on those Sixteen Men of Tain.
My philosophy of life: drive . . .
. . . German, eat Italian, and . . . . . . drink Mexican - you can't go wrong! The bottle of tequila is a gift from a dear Purist friend. I'm saving it for a special occasion, so unable comment on its flavor yet. One of my favorites is Don Julio 1942 . . ...
Aaaa ...... I didn't know we have so much in common :))))
My limited private stash. Those the years I have found my taste have swift towards the more or shall we say less "processed" type. I mainly look for Blanco these day and stop drinking Anejo hence the picture above. Some samples that I find refreshing(for ...
Really nice!
Nice composition. I like the light brown parts that match each other. Regards Anders
Another vintage Omega with a classic vintage ...
Here is a shot from a 2008 post that is more in keeping with Tony's theme ......
Ahh, That photo was taken at Quay restaurant
during TM's visit. That is a great Burgundian Pinot, my favourite along with Chambertin , village Gevrey Chambertin, Romanee Conti . Personally, I prefer a great burgundian Grandcru to a bordeaux first growth. My tasting note from many years ago is still ...
You are spot on ...
... with your tasting notes, my friend, and the restaurant. Click here to link to the original post . A memorable evening. Andrew
very nice
I think we could share some great common taste Andrew!...kind of funny to think these bottles travel all the way down to Austrlia. I wonder how it tastes down there and with what food you drink them!?...looks like you like them...Mattt
"If you can recall it"...
..."you didn't drink enough of it"! A fantastic night and a lovely wine, no question. Cheers, pplater.
Nice photo Andrew
2 classics for sure, the watch and the wine.The Penfolds Grange and Henschke 's Hill of grace ( controversially screw capped since 2005 ) IMHO are Australia's " first growth ". I shudder with angst , that the Australian government subsidised the pulling o...
Hi dreamer8.......agree with you
Australian Chiraz definitely and for my last dinner a magnum of Gevrey Chambertin or a Romanee Conti. Aaaah le Pinot Noir! Cheers Francois
Here's an old one from the harddrive
celebrating GOLD. Actually opened some Y'Quem just a few weeks ago, but it was '89...
i have a bottle of y'Quem from about 1890.
it was bottled in the 'whiskey corking method' for that era specially for a Reading UK based wine merchant. i bought it at auction for £2.00, did some research and now it sits as a display piece as it will be undrinkable. i must try the drinkable ver...
d'Yquem is always a great choice
It was the 2001 that brought out the sweet tooth in our family a few years back and now such wines are a constant fixture. I might also recommend Doisy Daene L'extravagant as a viable alternative when the occasion does not call for the heavy guns of d'Yqu...

"this old thing"
Just came back from a family reunion in Napa Valley. Lots of wine up there. Got me worried about some of my old wines. So I think this weekend we might drink this one, as we have a lot of California wines from a decade ago. The watch - One of the watches ...
I'd be interested to know...
..how that Roederer's has held up after 100 years. Maybe on a trip down South?
+1
One has to try it and I would love to be the one. The bottle will still look cool, afterwards
A vision of orange.......
