GC

went down to Gourmet Cellar at 456 River Valley Rd at 9.30pm.
idiot waiter tried to rip me off by introducing wines costing over $120 each.
i already said i want something more affordable.
to hell with him. and his service attitude sucks anyway.
so gonna complain to Alex. hire lousy staff.

bought my dear God-pa a Green Point Pinot Noir 2002.
shouldn't go too wrong though could be better.
i prefer Petit Verdot anyways.
medium bodied, light tannins, blackcurrant and velvety, oaked, smokey finish.
forget the Paulliac. freaking $96 a bottle and nothing fantastic really.

i miss Yarra Valley, vict au.

stopped by Book Cafe at MS on the way back.
pleasant surprise.
they serve really powerful cheesecake which is not coyingly sweet.
made of mascaporne cheese and yougurt in substitute for whipped cream.
wonderfully healthy. be warned. the hazelnut-cocoa cake isn't worth trying.
