Wine Fair : Bonjour Wine Fair Vivocity (8 to 11 Nov 07)

-

Hello readers, sorry about this late posting for the Bonjour Wine Fair currently going on at Vivocity. The wine shop participants of the Fair included Bottles & Bottles, Le Rouge, Cold Storage and Indoguna. Pretty small set up, and space was probably cannibalized by the other French products, cheese, apples, etc. The wines displayed were pretty pedestrian and not something I would be excited about. Though two vendors were selling Reserve de la Comtesse, one vintage 2004 at $68, and the lady was experienced enough to say it was a classical year. The other vendor proclaimed that the 2001 going for $59.90 was a very good year (?!).
Well I managed to pop into Bottles & Bottles and found the better deal than any at the Bonjour wine fair. 2 bottles of Penfolds 389 vintage 2004 were going for $102. i.e. each bottle going for $51.
If you were visiting Vivocity for other than the wine fair, then I guess it may be alright swinging by to take a look, otherwise it will not be a shame if you missed it.
