今日突然收到畫圖妹WhatsApp， 話要買支table wine今晚年30團年，叫我介紹， 我話不如我買俾你啦！（唔駛煩！）又問我喺邊度返工， 我話乜你唔知架咩！？佢話唔記得， 咁都難怪， 因為我同佢其實都好耐冇聯絡， 對上嗰次係因為佢D common friend 嗌燒嘢食， 但佢唔得閒，點解呢? （後尾問返先知）原来係因為佢公司annual dinner 要飛返上海食， 但係竟然係食日本嘢，真係O晒嘴！心諗：喺香港食又平又正啦！ 不過，可能佢老細話， 唔係俾你哋食架， 係俾我啲客食架！Anyway， 就好似葉Sir D 飯局咁， 唔係飲Bordeaux 1st growth， 就係飲DRC， 點解呀！？ 因為一睇就知係貴嘢同好嘢， 人人都識！ 咁你話係咪真係咁好飲， 見人見智啦， 不過好多人會覺得： 呢個價， 大把選擇， btw 喺蒙瓶嘅情況下， 好多名酒評家都飲唔出呢個價位， 咁證明佢哋絕大部份人(包括好多名酒評家)其實都係label drinker， 正因為咁，我最鐘意同d唔知酒為何物， 淨係知好唔好飲嘅人飲酒，因為佢哋係毫無bias！ 正如好多HR 同你講，係一張白紙今

今日老細識做放半日， 我見未食lunch咪問下畫圖妹食唔食囉， 順便畀埋支酒佢， 估唔到佢一口就答應，仲話要請我食飯補數， 我最鐘意呢D咁爽快嘅囡囡， 好快畫圖妹已經send咗個餐廳地址俾我，係Mrs Pound， 我一睇地圖， 兩頭唔到岸（兩個地鐵站中間），哽係搭的士啦，去到（2：04pm) 畫圖妹已經坐咗喺度， 問下有冇開瓶費，佢話$200， 因為呢餐係畫圖妹請嘅關係， 當然要睇佢頭，咁佢話唔OK，咪轉場囉， 其實佢嘅要求好簡單，坐得舒服同免開瓶費就OK， 我哋轉咗幾個場，分別係旁邊間cafe（$100開瓶）， celebrity cuisine（太貴）， 蓮香樓（太逼，太嘈）， 最後揀左呢間上海弄堂，本來話垃圾酒收$50， 後尾又話2018加咗收$100，你講晒啦！ 畫圖妹同我都肚餓唔想行（嗰陣已經差唔多3點）
我問畫圖妹洗唔洗趕住返公司，佢話唔洗， 因為佢老細返咗大陸，無皇管，我話哈你公司都幾free喎！ 佢話最緊要有貨交，其它嘢佢老細都唔多理， 我話咁不如早d走啦， 佢又話要坐夠鐘，心諗: 邊有人會放長假前做嘢吖，由其係D大陸公司， 聖誕已經放軟手腳啦，睇完餐牌，畫圖妹叫咗個2人餐， 佢話想食川椒雞， 我乜都OK， 因為對我嚟講都係送酒， 揀左個set lunch都算多嘢食，又湯，又前菜，美中不足係冇甜品， 間嘢又坐得舒服， D 嘢食就OK啦， 唔難食， 同支老妖都襯到， 呢支酒我飲過幾次，表現都幾穩定， 換句話講『悶』，大概10－15分鐘開， 雖然係咁， 但係我一定會一開就斟出嚟飲下試下佢performance 而唔係好似好多人咁， 飲都未飲就decanter， 我基本上乜酒都係， 只係喺隻杯度醒， 因為好多時一落decanter支酒就散， 飲落好似係開咗，其實已經無咗好多嘢（尤其係老酒！），畫圖妹都幾犀利，一飲就話要等等（breath）， 又問點解支嘢叫老妖， 我話唔記得，叫佢上網搵，點知佢搵極都無， 哈！個樓面全程好招呼， 話頭醒尾有講有笑，完滿咁喺Happy hour食完呢餐！之後送返畫圖妹返公司攞袋走人（嗰陣已經成5點）
Today suddenly received a WhatsApp from a female designer, saying she want to buy a table wine for the dinner before Chinese New Year (CNY), ask me for recommendation, I said better I just buy one for you (less hassle) She also asked where I work, I was surprise and ask you didn’t know? She said cant remember, that is predictable, because we actually didn’t contact each other for quite awhile and the last time we did was because our common friend asking for Barbeque, but she was busy, why? You might ask yourself, (Later she told me) because of her company annual dinner, she need to fly back to shanghai, but surprisingly was eating Japanese food, I was speechless, knowing that Hong Kong is better and cheaper, but maybe her boss said this is not for you is for my customer!
Anyway, is similar to Mr Yip (a former Government senior executive) wine gathering, if not drinking Bordeaux 1 growth, he would be drinking DRC, Why? You might ask, it’s because everyone when you saw these wine, you will immediately recognize that its famous for its quality and high price, but if you ask yourself is the taste really good? Well! Different people have different opinion, but many people will tell you at this price, we have many choices, By the way, most famous wine critics at a blind tasting situation, they cannot taste the price difference, that prove most people (including many famous wine critics) was actually label drinker and because of this, I would prefer to drink with someone who don’t know about wine, because they have no bias! As many Human Resource guy will tell you: as a blank paper.
Today boss let us to have a half day off, I realize still didn’t have my lunch yet and ask my female designer friend to join me and of course also bring the wine to her, surprisingly she said yes without thinking, what’s more is she volunteer to pay the bill! I like girl with this kind of personality, very soon, she already send me the address of the restaurant, is Mrs Pound, when I first saw the map (it’s between 2 MTR station), I immediately jump on the taxi without thinking, when I arrived (2:04pm) She was already sitting down there, I ask if it has corkage fee, they said $200, and because the bill is on her, of course I will wait for her response, when she said not okay, we move on to the next restaurant, actually her request is simple, to be eating (and drinking of course!) comfortable and free corkage, we changed a couple of restaurant, i.e. the café besides ($100 corkage), celebrity cuisine (too expensive), Lin Heung Tea House (too crowded and too noisy), finally we choose this Shanghai Lane, at the beginning they said crap wine charge $50, then they said 2018 already raise the price to $100, Well! She and me already hungry and want to settle down (by that time is already 3pm)
I ask if she need to head back to office early and she said no, because her boss is in Mainland, is nice that you had freedom in your office I said, and she said the most important thing is to have her work handed, apart from that her boss didn’t care much, leave early then I said, she said need to wait till the office hour finish, who will be doing or thinking about their work before long vacation I said, especially Mainland company, most already slow down their work during Christmas, after seeing the menu, she order a set lunch for 2, she said want to eat Sichuan style chicken, I will eat whatever, because for me the food is just for accompany the wine, the set has quite a lot to eat including soup and appetizer but unfortunately there is no desert, the restaurant is quite comfy, the food is good although not great and match with the Dugat PY as well, this wine I’ve drank for a few times, quite consistent, in other words “boring”, should wait for about 10-15mins to air, although that’s the fact, but the first thing I must do when open is to pour a few into my glass and try check for its performance, unlike many people, already put the whole bottle into the decanter, for whatever wine I drink, I will only decan in the glass, because most of the case when you put the whole bottle into the decanter, the wine will go off very quickly if not immediately (especially for old wine), she has the potential in wine tasting and ask me to wait (breath the wine) after a sip, also she ask the reason for the wine Chinese nickname, I said I forgot and ask her to find online, however she cannot find at all, Haha! the waiter had good service all the time, perfectly finish up the meal during happy hour! Then escort her back to the office to take her bag (by that time its already around 5pm)
