Positively Decadent

Sunday, January the 18th 2009.

Yet another dinner party with the Jim Cottage (JC) Gang. But this time with a twist.
The night's theme was "ta-pow" (take away to you non-Malaysians)
So it was off to Pak Putra for Tandoori Chicken, Mutton Rogan Gosh, Palek Paneer, Naan etc.
The real challenge of the evening was left to "The Capitalist" Ong Beng Seng (or Uncle BS in some circles) to find wines in his cellar to match the food. He did us proud with his selection of:

Coonawarra Katnock Estate - Cabernet Sauvignon 1997
Capel Vale Howecroft - Cabernet Sauvignon/ Merlot 1996
Mount Langi Ghiran(Victoria) - Langi Shiraz 1998

All the wines were execellent and big, with the Mount Langi being the most robust of all. The Capel Vale was not far behind, and could be best described as a monster of a wine with a distinctive chocolate overtone on the nose.

If the above wasn't decadent enough, the old BS had to top it all by drinking "Kickapoo Joy Juice" from a Riedel glass!!!

Ah... but what's wrong with a bit of decadence eh? As long as it's positive right!?!
