Rajmah and rice for dinner and gala tar karne ke liyee Merlot You have good taste! I love Razma-Chaawal with some achar and yoghurt...although I have to cut down on the achar because of the cooler weather approaching winter. My drink of choice is actually Pinot followed by CabSav then Shiraz.....which countries Merlot are you sipping??? Last night it was Napa Valley After my venturing out last week and going out to try organic hop ale, man I was back on track to my good old merlot. I have tried from Chile, Oz, and from Europe too. I can handle CabSav and Shiraz too. As long as its red, I am fine. For some reason I feel they have strong berry taste. For me, I have to feel that after taste of red grape and I have noticed that is very very peculiar to merlot. It sits on your tongue for a while Zinfen is ok too. One that I want to find is sparkling red rose wine. Other day they had this tasting thing going on where they were offering 50 cents a shot. That one really struck me, it had that kind of after taste of hamdard ka roh-afjah - Just another gummy bear fan

I should see Marci bhai sometime. This kind of meal regiment definitely has a gymming routine attached. I could use a few tips! why is that?? SF said i eat less waise gym tau jata hu. Your menu seems like that of a health freak (forced or natural ) with the occasional indulgences. My breakfast is always light, which is not good but the way modern day lifestyle is, i guess i can't afford to eat heavy. Had cup of watermelon for break fast - Just another gummy bear fan

Had mix bento (sushi) for lunch. There is a little Japanese place close to work which has these prepared boxes of sushi....the mix bento, as the name implies has an interesting variety of tit-bits.
They provide soya sauce and wasabi paste with it. I can eat really spicy food but I just can't take wasabi. With spicy food, the effect is inward. With wasabi, its outward like you're blowing fire out of your nostrils.....

Must say I liked the Sushi I had in a premier restraunt. I guess they take care of those with delicate palates. Best Regards

Its just that we desis are used to spices having the opposite effect.....some friends (American and Italian) like it a lot....I like wasabi peas in small wuantities....

Last night it was Napa Valley After my venturing out last week and going out to try organic hop ale, man I was back on track to my good old merlot. I have tried from Chile, Oz, and from Europe too. I can handle CabSav and Shiraz too. As long as its red, I am fine. For some reason I feel they have strong berry taste. For me, I have to feel that after taste of red grape and I have noticed that is very very peculiar to merlot. It sits on your tongue for a while Zinfen is ok too. One that I want to find is sparkling red rose wine. Other day they had this tasting thing going on where they were offering 50 cents a shot. That one really struck me, it had that kind of after taste of hamdard ka roh-afjah I've never tried American wine. I've mainly had French, a bit of Italian, Hungarian (Bull's Blood - great red) and of course Australian. Oz is actually really very good and in value for money, its by far the best in the world. A $15 quality Pinot here would easily cost Euro 45 in France or Italy. If I had the money, I'd buy a vinyard in Oz or NZ and retire! By aftertaste do you mean the tannins because I try to avoid them - which often means allowing a Shiraz to breath for 2-3 hours.....my drink of choice is definitely red and as I grow older, I'm finding myself less and less inclined to experiment.....every time I like a red, I buy a case......play it safe.....

Yes, for me... i kind of like that... not a lot though. For some reason there is aftertaste with every drink. Beer has that bubbly malt/barley taste, whisky has its own after taste. Gin gives out that dryness. i agree playing it safe is good. trust me. once in a while i do venture out but then i have to set myself right with good old merlot Red wine from south america is good too. where in OZ do you have vineyards?

Central OZ Every drink has its own taste. But by after-taste/tannin I really meant the after-taste that is unique to lower-end wines....I don't think you are talking about that.....you probably mean the bouquet.... The best wineries in Oz are really in the southern (and cooler) part of Australia e.g. Mornington Peninsula which produces some great Pinot's and of course New Zealand. The best wines are really cooler climate ones....try a good Australian wine from VIC, SA or NZ (Oyster Bay is quite nice...for Pinot and white...)
