The wine for our wedding

A few months before our wedding, I chanced upon a Rose wine from Chile - Miguel Torres San Medin Cabernet Sauvignon Rose. We discovered that we enjoyed this particular wine and naturally we decided it would be the wine we'd serve at our wedding dinner reception.

SP made some calls to find out the distributor for the Torres wine, and discovered it was in KL. We left several messages, found ourselves being pushed from one person to another, and finally we found out we could easily get the wine from Penang. No need for transporting boxes from wine from KL, all the way to Penang.

And where in Penang did we get these wines? Sunshine Square. And we even got some discount and a free wine glass for every bottle we bought. It was quite an experience for us, carting the boxes of wine in our shopping trolley.

As soon as we got home, we were so concerned about the proper way to store the wine. The sommelier suggested a dark, cool place would be the best conditions for the wine. And so the wine went into our second room. The place is normally cool, and it's quite dark once the curtains are drawn.




We brought the wine to Lone Pine the day before our wedding so that the people at Lone Pine could keep the wine chilled until they were served. The wine was quite popular at our wedding dinner reception. All the bottles were finished, and everyone had their fill.

So right now we more wine glasses than we need at home, and they're still in their boxes. Maybe they'll come in handy when we have company... and then there's that bottle of Sparkling Rose in the fridge...
