Thanks xylo. Didn't saw that I Muri discount. Had only eyes for that Vigneti lol. So i need to go to big c today again to get some I Muri which i also like.

 

I'm by far no wine pro like you xylo but that well balanced earthy note in that Vigneti made it for me a good wine. Normaly i'm no friend of earthy, smokey and peaty. Catch a bottle on your next big c visit xylo before i will buy all.

I Muri sold out at big c. Had no luck.

I did see that wine Schlog, but it wasn't on "special" but I did find 2 others that were and were very nice indeed: I Muri Primitivo and Negroamaro  were on 50% discount and both are lovely with the Negroamaro being my favourite.

 

Deep purple colour, with a nose of black fruits and not dry, but a big wine with a nice finish.

I wonder what would happen if i showed up after 5 weeks when my Medical, and possibly also RC would have expired? Told to renew paperwork and get another appointment? And its not like you can go make an appointment and then get the paperwork. All needs to be ready to even get the appointment slip.

No problem at all. Medical and RC are still valid. I had 6 weeks.

Found at big c a nice wine from puglia. Nero di troia from Vigneti di Vulture.

Blackberry blueberry chocolate taste. Earthy but not to strong. 

Has a long lasting finish.

Really enjoyed that wine.

This over the top obsession with alcohol ban and friends not allowed home (unless married I guess ! ...lol ????) makes me think the Phuket island is heading for a Muslim Khalifa state...! , what next , ban boys and girls holding hands - oh, maybe it is already...???? 

 

Somebody please convince us with common sense and logic that from Monday friends can go to the gym together, go out to exercise, go to malls, go to restaurant and eat together, and as already possible go the beach and all the other business venues that will open , will be less spreading the virus than say if they go to each other's house or have a drink with their food...!!!!?  (btw, not everyone drinks until pass out or have large orgies - that is just in the sick minds of those putting these rules...!!!)

 

As far as I can see they are petty  characters put in charge here who are just generally envious of people having a good time and want to control them, typical of opressing regimes you can see all around the world..., abuse of power with silly rules.

 

Ah, also tell us how the above is more applied to farangs than Thais such that we are bombarded with this particular two reminders .... Thais don't drink or visit friends and if so are at less risk...! ? ????

 

It's only madness and not about muslim lol.

Phunphon open in full swing but dinner with a friend at home not allowed. ????

At Tops in new Central. Reduced price only 60 baht. Regular 129 baht.

Tried it last night and was positiv surprised. Good dark beer for easy drinking and not to bitter. For 60 baht a must buy.

My favorite doctor. Her clinic has also high quality food for sale. Sure she could help you.

Do i get then also gold and cash price from the rawai covid lucky draw? Maybe for 10kg gold i would start to think to give that chinese juice a try.

Thanks xylo for your great review.

Will go next monday to winepro and buy your wine 2/3/4.

Hoping to find also a good primitivo.

You probably know this: The top northern two districts of the Phuket map (from the zero cases post) show ALQ & LQ. What does it stand for? 

Alternative  Local Quarantine& Local Quarantine.

Jeez, there was none left when I looked the other day!! Was there much of it left??

Xylo at Lotus Thalang are still 10 bottles rioja in stock. Ask the alc girls because they are little bit hidden. Got before some bottles!

I would go to soidog in maikhao. They have a impressive clinic for dogs. Have a chat with them maybe they could help.

On a separate, but related note, today I went to Wine Pro to have a look at what was on offer and was quite impressed with their selection and the prices, so I bought eight bottles of varying red wines to try.

 

I shall keep a note of the ones I like and stock up as needs be. Good store and very helpful staff.

I also really like winepro and need to go again. Would be great xylo if you could name your top 3 red wines from winepro after your testing.

Mandatory for all extensions >>since a while<<. Clear now?

Don't ask me for exact date of change. Months ago.

Confirmed by some posts here. The unknowing being sent away to get one.

Correct. It's sure mandatory since february. Did my 5 year dl renew end february. Before that didn't need medical c. in all the years.

Good that they silent. It's like a half lockdown already because of little  numbers only. Panic mongers. Declare Phuket orange zone!

@ makro patong leffe 81 baht.

Lol who cares? No PWA here in Patong since 100 years so what....
